JAVA_HOME

[ColtonIdle]

This might be a dumb question, but does this install to the typical java location so that JAVA_HOME is set automatically, or are there any instructions on how to set java_home when installing from homebrew-zulu?

Yes, this formula uses the installer .pkg provided by Azul, which installs into standard /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/ directory. But still you might need to explicitly define JAVA_HOME in your shell profile. So using /usr/libexec/java_home tool:

Bash:

export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)

Fish:

set -x JAVA_HOME (/usr/libexec/java_home)

Thanks for the response. JAVA_HOME and java_home still make my head hurt after all these years and your explanation really helped. Much appreciated @mdogan !
