Javac is not recognized even path is set

Question

I have installed Java development kit 8 on my Windows 64-bit hp pavilion laptop. I deleted system variable path and created a user variable path and set the value to C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_60\bin.

But I can't run javac on command prompt. How can I run java development kit 8?

I have watched many videos and read a few suggestion on this website but nothing is working for me.

javac is under jdk folder C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_60\bin — maytham-ɯɐɥʇʎɐɯ, Sep 12 '15 at 08:53

You have installed a JRE, not a JDK. The JRE is just the bare minimum and does not include "javac".

Download a JDK instead and repeat what you did.

Anything else in C:\Program Files\Java ? – Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen Sep 12 '15 at 09:14
The JRE and JDK download pages look very similar. – Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen Sep 12 '15 at 09:38
