title: Installing Log4J 2 on Windows 10
body: <p>I am trying to install log4j (2) on Windows 10. I downloaded and extracted log4j from <a href="https://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/download.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/download.html</a></p>
  
  <p>However I don't know what do add to the path variable or how to call log4j on windows 10.</p>
  
  <p>The latest steps on Linux for log4j where:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/local/apache-log4j-1.2.15/log4j-1.2.15.jar
  $ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/apache-log4j-1.2.15/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The Problem here is, as far as I know, Windows has no <code>classpath</code> and there is no <code>log4j.jar</code> file just <code>log4j-core</code> and <code>log4j-api</code> (and similar) jars.</p>
  
  <p>If someone could help me set this up correctly I'd greatly appreciate this.</p>
