Installed intellij and added sdk path to project structure, but when i try to run i get:

Error: Cannot run program "/home/$USER/java/jdk1.8.0_121/bin/java" (in directory"/home/$USER/.intelliJIdea2016.3/system/compile-server"): error=2, No such file or directory

Both files (/home/$USER/java/jdk1.8.0_121/bin/java and /home/$USER/.intelliJIdea2016.3/system/compile-server) exists.

I am using Ubuntu 16.10

  • What OS do you use? Are you sure it's the full JDK installation path and not a JRE? Commented Mar 17, 2017 at 11:55
  • @CrazyCoder I am using ubuntu 16.10 and i downloaded the JDK from oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/…, the path is to the extracted folder Commented Mar 17, 2017 at 12:06
  • Please specify what OS do you use. As of now, question is unclear. Commented Mar 17, 2017 at 13:14
  • Do you see $USER in the error message or did you replace it when posting the question? Commented Mar 17, 2017 at 23:38
  • @CrazyCoder $USER is my replacement of my username Commented Mar 20, 2017 at 7:34

The answer from here Change jdk path in IntelliJ 13 when compiling from 32 bit program file folder to 64 bit one worked for me

From the menu: File -> Project Structure....

On the left, below "Platform Settings", you have "SDKs": click on it; you can add your new JDK here.

Always in the same window, below "Project Settings", select "Project": you have the option to select the JDK which you just added.

In my case, IntelliJ was pointing to a JDK folder of a version I had uninstalled. For some reason the uninstaller didnt remove the Java/jdk* folder, so it was not showing any error in the configuration screen File -> Project Structure -> SDK

After finding out it was pointing to an uninstalled JDK folder then I proceeded to adjust this configuration thanks to the answer posted by UberHans

Make sure your JDK path is correct. In my case, it updated JDK version somehow but I didn't notice it, there are a lot of red underlines. After I edit JDK with the correct path, the world became green.

Did you try doing a Maven Reload? I had the same issue, and i tried everything, nothing worked, the only thing that worked, was reloading Maven, it fixed the problem. I hope it helps.
