# Java Language Compiler



## Description



Java Language Compiler is a simple C program that automates the process of compiling and running Java programs. It takes the file name of a Java source file as input, compiles it using the `javac` command, and then runs the compiled Java program using the `java` command.



## Project Owner



- Name: Om Shingare

- GitHub: [ShingareOm](https://github.com/ShingareOm)



## Getting Started



### Prerequisites



- Make sure you have Java Development Kit (JDK) installed on your system.



### Usage



1. Clone the repository:



```bash

git clone https://github.com/ShingareOm/JavaLanguageCompiler.git

```



2. Compile the C program:

```bash

gcc main.c -o JavaCompiler

```



3. Run the program:

```bash

./JavaCompiler

```



4. Enter the Java source file name (without the .java extension) when prompted.



5. The program will compile the Java file and execute it automatically.



### Making the Executable File Global

1. For Linux and macOS Users



    - If you are using Linux or macOS, you can add the JavaCompiler executable to a directory in your system's PATH, so you can run it from anywhere in the terminal.



    - After compiling the C program and obtaining the JavaCompiler executable, move it to a directory that you want to use for storing your globally accessible executables. For example, you can create a bin directory in your home folder and move the JavaCompiler executable there.



    - Open your terminal and navigate to your home directory (or any other location where you stored the JavaCompiler executable).



    - Run the following command to open your shell's profile file in a text editor. Depending on the shell you are using, the profile file could be .bashrc, .bash_profile, .zshrc, or something similar.



    ```bash

    nano .bashrc

    ```



    - Add the following line at the end of the profile file. Replace /path/to/bin with the actual path to the directory containing the JavaCompiler executable.



    ```bash

    export PATH="/path/to/bin:$PATH"

    ```



    - Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl + X, then Y, and finally Enter (if you're using nano).



    - Refresh your shell by running the following command:



    ```bash

    source .bashrc

    ```

    - Now you should be able to run the JavaCompiler executable from anywhere in the terminal.



    ```bash

    JavaCompiler

    ```

    - Please ensure that the JavaCompiler executable is in a secure and trusted location, as adding directories to the PATH can potentially pose security risks if you include untrusted or malicious executables.



2. For Windows Users

    - If you are using Windows, you can add the JavaCompiler executable to a directory in your system's PATH to run it from anywhere in the Command Prompt or PowerShell.



    - After compiling the C program and obtaining the JavaCompiler executable, move it to a directory that you want to use for storing your globally accessible executables. For example, you can create a bin directory in your C:\ drive and move the JavaCompiler executable there.



    - Open the Start menu, type "environment variables," and select "Edit the system environment variables."



    - Click the "Environment Variables" button at the bottom right.



    - In the "System Variables" section, scroll down and find the "Path" variable. Click "Edit."



    - Click "New" and enter the full path to the directory containing the JavaCompiler executable (e.g., C:\bin).



    - Click "OK" to save the changes.



    - Open a new Command Prompt or PowerShell window (or restart your existing one).



    - Now you should be able to run the JavaCompiler executable from anywhere in the Command Prompt or PowerShell.



    ```bash

    JavaCompiler

    ```

    - Please ensure that the JavaCompiler executable is in a secure and trusted location, as adding directories to the PATH can potentially pose security risks if you include untrusted or malicious executables.
