05/19/2022, 3:43 PMGoogle-fu not helping. I’m trying to install a CF2021 package…do I set JAVA_HOME in CommandBox? And, how do I set it?! Thanks. 🙂

05/19/2022, 4:07 PMIf you are using CommandBox, you don't need to set your JAVA_HOME.

05/19/2022, 4:07 PMWhy are you setting JAVA_HOME? What is the objective?

05/19/2022, 4:08 PMMy objective is to install the CF2021 mail package per my original screenshot.

05/19/2022, 4:09 PMDid you do the server start command yet?

jakobward
05/19/2022, 4:10 PMYes, immediately before the cfpm command.

05/19/2022, 4:11 PMAre you on windows?

05/19/2022, 4:11 PMYes, Windows 10.
jakobward
05/19/2022, 4:11 PMCommandBox 5.3.1

johnfarrar
05/19/2022, 4:12 PMGood, and did you look in your user folder for this manually to verify the presence?
johnfarrar
05/19/2022, 4:13 PMSounds like you have it. Time to reach out to both @bdw429s and perhaps @Mark Takata (Adobe)?

05/19/2022, 4:14 PMYes, it is there. Cool, thanks! I just loaded the site on 2018 in the meantime ( though the client is using a 2021 production environment ). So, we’ll see what happens. Thanks.

05/19/2022, 5:03 PM@jakobward It would appear you're on an old version of CommandBox. The latest version automatically sets the JAVA_HOME. Stay up to date and you wouldn't have seen this 😉

05/19/2022, 5:04 PMAlso, setting the java home in the server.json for has nothing at all to do with the JAVA_HOME environment variable that cfpm is looking for

05/19/2022, 5:15 PMAhh, your url said cfpm requires 5.2 or later. I guess it should say latest. Thanks!

bdw429s
05/19/2022, 5:16 PMNo, you can use cfpm in 5.2
bdw429s
05/19/2022, 5:17 PMIt's just not going to default your missing java_home env var for you!
bdw429s
05/19/2022, 5:17 PM5.5 just does you a favor by creating it if you forgot 😀
bdw429s
05/19/2022, 5:18 PMThe env var is a requirement of cfpm itself
bdw429s
05/19/2022, 5:18 PMAnd CommandBox's cfpm command is just a proxy to Adobe's cli

05/19/2022, 5:18 PMLol. All good. I prefer to stay up-to-date. Must have overlooked my CommandBox. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the assist.

Mark Takata (Adobe)
05/19/2022, 5:18 PMYeppers. And just a heads up, a bit out of scope for this discussion, but running the new VS Code extension will require a properly setup JAVA_HOME also, so good practice

05/19/2022, 5:19 PMDefinitely not out of scope. Still need to figure out how to set that. Ha.
jakobward
05/19/2022, 5:21 PMI guess just copy and paste from CF Admin. Doi.
