Last updated on Jan 13, 2022 1 min read R, Rstudio

To prevent future problems when using Java, you need to install Java to your machine correctly.

Download the correct version of Java from https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
Right-click the Java setup app to “Run as Admin”
After installing Java, go to R and let your machine know the right path to Java (Make sure you run R as Admin as well).

Sys.setenv(JAVA_HOME="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Java\\jre1.8.0_311") # for 32-bit version
