java -version resullts -bash: java: command not found (in linux)

Question

Java -version in Linux is not seem to be working and returing -bash: java: command not found error,though im able to run java related apps.

I have installed jdk in my new linux machine and i have set the environment variable JAVA_HOME using which i can execute JAVA apps and I can echo the java path i set.

Problem is i can not see the java version i have installed ,using the command java -version (i want to know that everything is set fine)

You should have your java installation directory added to PATH environment variable in order to use java from terminal. For example:

export PATH=<your java Directory>/bin:$PATH
