Where is the Keytool application?

Question

I need to use mapview control in android and I can't seem to understand how to run keytool. Is it installed with eclipse? I can't seem to find a download link.

Thanks

Answer 1

If you are working with a Mac... the keytool is part of the Java SDK and can be found in the following location /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/[VERSION].jdk/Contents/Home/bin/keytool

Answer 2

here: C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin it is an exe keytool.exe

Answer 3

keytool is part of the standard java distribution.

In a windows 64-bit machine, you would normally find the jdk at

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_121\bin

It is used for managing keys and certificates you can sign things with, in your case, probably a jar file.

If you provide more details of what you need to do, we could probably give you a more specific answer.

Answer 4

It is in path/to/jdk/bin. Make sure that $JAVA_HOME is defined, and $JAVA_HOME/bin is added to $PATH, or else the 'keytool' command won't be recognized when called.

Answer 5

keytool is a tool to manage key and certificates. It is provided with any standard JDK distribution and can be located in %JAVA_HOME%\bin.

Answer 6

If you have java installed of course keytool is in there. What you need to do is to add it on your PATH variable.
