iepy django Environment variable JAVAHOME not defined

birdmw@birdmw-thinkpad:~/Desktop/nlp/iepy$ sudo iepy --create iepy Environment variable JAVAHOME not defined.

I am having this problem with package IEPY. It is Django and Java related.

I feel like I have tried everything to set the JAVAHOME path but nothing works:

birdmw@birdmw-thinkpad:~/Desktop/nlp/iepy$ echo $JAVAHOME /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin/java birdmw@birdmw-thinkpad:~/Desktop/nlp/iepy$ echo $JAVA_HOME /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin/java birdmw@birdmw-thinkpad:~/Desktop/nlp/iepy$ which java /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin/java

sudo vim /etc/environment PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games" JAVAHOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin/java JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin/java

birdmw@birdmw-thinkpad:~/Desktop/nlp/iepy$ sudo iepy --create iepy Environment variable JAVAHOME not defined. birdmw@birdmw-thinkpad:~/Desktop/nlp/iepy$ Of course it is, am I taking crazy pills?

Solution

  • The longer answer has to do with the use of sudo. But to just get you going, you should/can use this:

    JAVAHOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin/java JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin/java iepy --create iepy

    If you have to use sudo, you can do:

    sudo JAVAHOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin/java JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin/java iepy --create iepy
