New to java 1.8.0_73 - Javac command not recognized
<p>When I try to compile a .java file, it says "Command javac not found."</p>

<p>I've done a fresh install of Java using an installer downloaded from their website. I've tried the solution on all of the other posts that says to check my path, but it already includes "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_73\bin;" which contains which looks like a ton of utilities - except, there's no javac executable. </p>

<p>I searched my C drive with File Explorer, and couldn't find it anywhere. I've installed and reinstalled, so I think I might just be looking for the wrong thing to compile my programs. Please help!</p>
