 We need to type the following Java code as a text file.   Java requires that the File name is Capitalized, and ends in ''.java''.
+===== 1. Type the code as a text file =====
+=== Linux / MacOS ===
+<code bash>
+nano First.java
+</code>
+There is a remote possibility [[https://www.fossmint.com/install-gnu-nano-in-linux/|nano needs to be installed]]
+=== DOS / Windows before Win7-64 bit===
+''edit First.java''
+=== Windows 7-64 bit and later ===
+''notepad First.java''
+(technically not a command line editor, but they removed that ability for some reason)
+====Now (in your respective editor) type:====
 <code java>
 public class First

 }
 </code>
+===== 2. Compile the Code =====
-===== Linux =====
+<code bash>
+javac First
+</code>
+===== 3. Execute the Code =====
 <code bash>
-nano First.java
+java First
 </code>
+======Summary ======
