1. Make sure you have java installed
2. your path is wrong

do this:

    export | grep JAVA

JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_202.jdk/Contents/Home

3. follow the path to see if the directories are correct

then i went to /Java/JavaVirturalMachines turns out I had the wrong "jdk1.8.0_202.jdk" folder, there was another number... 4. you can use this command to set java_home

export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_202.jdk/Contents/Home
