grailsw: JAVA_HOME environment variable is not set

I checked following dependencies already installed.

$ node -v
v0.10.25

$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_121"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_121-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.121-b13, mixed mode)

How can i fix above error?

Based on the error I guess you need to set the environmental variable $JAVA_HOME, the directory in which you installed java.

[mandecent.gupta]

i set the path using following command.

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64 Also i checked

echo $JAVA_HOME /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64

but still same error.

I would recommend sending an email to their mailing list [e-mail]

Also there have been several other recent threads in their mailing list archive here discussing this issue that might be of use http://gmod.827538.n3.nabble.com/Apollo-f815553.html

I think what it boils down to is that sudo uses a different "environment variables" so even though JAVA_HOME is part of your current user installation, it is not part of the sudo user, so it fails. You should probably run this command without sudo if possible, or make JAVA_HOME a part of your sudo user's environment.
