'ERROR:'keytool' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

When I use the command:

C:\>keytool -list -alias androiddebugkey 
            -keystore .android\debug.keystore 
            -storepass android -keypass android

I get this error:

'keytool' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I'm not able to get the certificate fingerprint(MD5) on my computer.

I have ensured that the keystore file is present in the appropriate location.

Any help?

android keytool

Solution 1:^[1]

Check that the directory the keytool executable is in is on your %PATH% environment variable.

For example, on my Windows 7 machine, it is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin, and my %PATH% variable looks like C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\ (and many other entries)

Solution 2:^[2]

This worked for me !! :

Go to this path or where ever you have your keytool.exe file

C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin

Hold shift and right click -> then press Open command window here

terminal will pop up, paste this in:

keytool -list -v -keystore "C:\Users\"Your-User-Name(no quotes)"\.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android

gives you both MD5 and SHA1

Solution 3:^[3]

Found it.

GO TO:

my computer->rightClick->properties->Advanced system settings->environment variables->find path in system variables->dbl click-> paste the "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_16\bin"->OK

GO TO:

cmd -> keytool -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore "C:\Users\meee\.android\debug.keystore" -storepass android -keypass android

Solution 4:^[4]

Go to My computer -> right click -> system properties -> environmental variables -> Path -> add you jdk/bin to this path
```
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_211\bin
```

*if this not work then

In cmd set the path by using the below command

set PATH=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_211\bin

now the path is set now you can use the keytool

Solution 5:^[5]

So if you have the following structure now:

 C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\
                                keytool.exe
                                debug.keystore

then execute:

C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin>keytool -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore debug.keystore -storepass android -keypass android

Solution 6:^[6]

keytool ships with Android Studio as part of the JRE needed to run Android Studio.

On Windows its: C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre\bin\keytool.exe

On Mac its: /Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home/bin/keytool

Add it to your environment variables then run the keytool command again.

Solution 7:^[7]

On windows 8, go to C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin and in the address bar, type "cmd" without the quotes. This will launch the terminal. Then type in string as describe here.

Solution 8:^[8]

if you want to run keytool from any location of terminal

example: C:>keytool

you need to add the system variables

for Windows:

1) create:
JAVA_HOME
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45

2) add to Path
%JAVA_HOME%\bin;

Solution 9:^[9]

all you can do is to navigate to your jre destination in your computer via command line and then once you reach bin, you type the keytool command and it would work.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin>
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin>keytool -list -v -keystore"%USERPROFILE%\.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android

Solution 10:^[10]

Make sure JAVA_HOME is set and the path in environment variables reflects the bin directory of JAVA_HOME. Basically, the PATH should be able to find the keytools.exe file in your jdk location.

Solution 11:^[11]

Easy, just find the location where keytool executable is, normally is in java/jre(Version)/bin forexample in my computer is in C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin. all you have to do is go to environment variables, click PATH to make it active, then click edit, then add complete path where your keytool is, for me i will add C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin this will allow you to execute keytool commands without going to the directory where keytool is installed.

Solution 12:^[12]

This is due to path for keytool.exe not set.

Open command prompt in your windows machine, go to where you would like to run keytool cmd and then set path where keytool.exe present

Step 1 : Open cmd promt and run

cd C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_131\jre\lib\security

Step 2 : Run below cmd to set path using

set PATH=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_131\bin

Step 3 : Run keytool cmd, now it will be able to recognize

keytool -list -alias <rest of the arguments>

Solution 13:^[13]

This means, that your shell couldn't find the tool on your harddisk.

Change the working directory to C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\
Execute keytool -list -alias androiddebugkey keystore <full directory name make sure that you use enclosing in quotes> -storepass android -keypass android

Add C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\ to your PATH variable

Solution 14:^[14]

I suffered alot trying to find a solution to it and finally I found the solution by first setting the jre path to system variables by navigating to::

control panel > System and Security > System > Advanced system settings

Under System variables click on new

Variable name: KEY_PATH
Variable value: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_171\bin

Where Variable value should be the path to your JDK's bin folder.

Then open command prompt and Change directory to the same JDK's bin folder like this

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_171\bin

then copy and paste the code below in cmd

keytool -list -v -keystore "C:\Users\user\.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android

Solution 15:^[15]

In my case problem was in using PowerShell instead of CMD :)

Solution 16:^[16]

i am using gui tool ,Must try Who don't want to use keystore command line

it is GUI tool for create keystore.jks and export pem file and lot

https://keystore-explorer.org/downloads.html

Solution 17:^[17]

Give:

keytool -list -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore

Also in your line there is a space in keystore. Please check it.

Solution 18:^[18]

I know there are already several answers but none of them worked for me, so i am posting one that worked for me, may be helpful for someone.

First of all directory to keytool.exe must be on path

and if instead of directory being on path it is giving error then Try starting command line as a normal user instead of as a administrator or changing the directory to home directory

Solution 19:^[19]

Open "Environment Variables" (you can get to it from your start menu search in Win10) double check the path that the jdk is in, to make sure it exists. For me, it said "...jdk1.8/bin" But when I copied that into Windows Explorer or command prompt, it said that it didn't exist. I checked where it should have been, and it said "jdk1.8.0_77"

A simple rename of the setting in Android Studio and keytool was working!

Solution 20:^[20]

A simple solution of error is that you first need to change the folder directory in command prompt. By default in command prompt or in terminal(Inside Android studio in the bottom)tab the path is set to C:\Users#Name of your PC that you selected\AndroidStudioProjects#app name\flutter_app> Change accordingly:- C:\Users#Name of your PC that you selected\AndroidStudioProjects#app name\flutter_app>cd\

type cd (#after flutter_app>), type only cd\ not comma's

then type cd Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_251\bin (#remember to check the file name of jre properly)

now type keytool -list -v -keystore "%USERPROFILE%.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android (without anyspace type the command).

Solution 21:^[21]

Go to C:->Program Files->Java->jdk->bin. Here,keytool.exe file resides. 2.Copy the path till bin. 3.Go to: Control Panel\System and Security\System 4.Click Advanced System Setting 5.Click Environment Variables 6.Under System Variables(bottom half): Double click on Variable: Path B. Add the path: (Click New then add) C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_191\bin (your path) 8.VERIFY: Open command prompt & enter "Keytool" It should show keytool details & no error mssg.

Solution 22:^[22]

add C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-15.0.1\bin this into Environment Variables. refer to this website.

Solution 23:^[23]

That simply means the keytool keyword is not installed in your system visit : visit here and download java JDK first.

Then set the java JDK in your environmental variable.

Solution 24:^[24]

The Works for fine

Go to Path

C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin> keytool -exportcert -alias androiddebugkey -keystore "C:\Users\Developer\.android\debug.keystore"

Then enter Ketsore Password and job done!!

Solution 25:^[25]

Open Command prompt type this..

"c:\Program Files(x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin\keytool.exe" -list -v -alias androiddebugkey -keystore "C:\Users\EIS.android\debug.keystore" -storepass android -keypass android

Then Hit Enter MD5 and SHA1 key will get

Solution 26:^[26]

For windows 10 you need to path C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_161\bin

restart command and open

Solution 27:^[27]

Locate where your keytool.exe inside java installation folder

mine is C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_181\bin open cmd anywhere and run

SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_181\bin;

change the path to the path you located your keytool.exe

Solution 28:^[28]

My case is, it doesn't work wherever I call it, no matter I path the file or not, if I open it with powershell.

but it works if I open it with cmd.

Solution 29:^[29]

Just search on the following path : C:\ ? Program Files ? Java ? jre1.xxx ? bin
be sure this bin folder includes this keytool.exe

Then open the command prompt.

then type : (cd means change directory) cd C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_231\bin

Then type the command, and press enter

Solution 30:^[30]

The keytool command might not be in your path—it’s part of Java, which is installed as part of Android Studio. For the concrete path, run flutter doctor -v and locate the path printed after ‘Java binary at:’. Then use that fully qualified path replacing java (at the end) with keytool. If your path includes space-separated names, such as Program Files, use platform-appropriate notation for the names. For example, on Mac/Linux use Program\ Files, and on Windows use "Program Files".
