What Does It Mean "Java Is Not Recognized As An Internal Or External

Command?"

If you are facing problem like below shown, that means you could not set path
properly thats why windows command prompt does not know about the any tool
of java like java, javac or Javadoc. So its time to set path. Path could be
temporary or permanent. Click here to set the path in java.

Can We Run The Java Program Without Setting The Path?

Yes of course you can run java program without setting the path of jdk/bin
folder. In that case you have to save your java source file inside the jdk/bin
folder.
