jenv: Add a Java version to jEnv.
$ jenv add ${path-to-jdk_home}
try on your machine

The command "jenv add ${path-to-jdk_home}" is used to add a JDK (Java Development Kit) installation to the jenv environment management tool.

Here is an explanation of the command parts:

  • "jenv" refers to the jenv command-line tool, which is used to manage multiple Java versions on a single system.

  • "add" is a subcommand of "jenv" used to add a new JDK installation to jenv.

  • "${path-to-jdk_home}" is a placeholder representing the actual file path to the home directory of the JDK installation that you want to add. The "${...}" syntax is typically used in command-line interfaces to represent variables or placeholders that need to be replaced with actual values.

In practice, to use this command, you need to replace "${path-to-jdk_home}" with the actual file path to the JDK installation directory on your system. After executing the command, jenv will recognize and manage the specified JDK version, allowing you to switch between different versions of Java as needed.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
