1. Installing Java
   JAVA JDK Download

In my experience I have found that starting your enviroment setup with java is best.

1. In the system variables I made a new variable called it JAVA_HOME, and I set the value to: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79.
2. After that, I edited PATH, which is also in the system variables and I added : ;%JAVA_HOME%\bin.
3. In command prompt enter javac -version, if you see a return message javac 1.7.0_79 or something similar you can continue, I cant tell you how important it is to get this right, just know that things will go wrong at unexpected times.
