title: Intellij can't find JDK
body: <p>I couldn't find any other answers on StackOverflow on this. I just installed Intellij, and it can't find my JDK for some reason. </p>
  
  <p>Here's what I did:</p>
  
  <p>Install Java JDK 9.0.1</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Open Intellij</li>
  <li>Open new project</li>
  <li>Clicked "new" button beside the find SDK.</li>
  <li>Found my java 9.0.1 bin folder under Program Files. It didn't work.</li>
  <li>Tried java 8.something folder under Program Files (86x). It didn't work.</li>
  <li>Went into advanced system settings and edited the path variable to the new java 9.0.1 bin as per (<a href="https://classroom.udacity.com/courses/ud282/lessons/8186340458/concepts/900a2a40-3921-4604-a258-c11ec355003c" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://classroom.udacity.com/courses/ud282/lessons/8186340458/concepts/900a2a40-3921-4604-a258-c11ec355003c</a>).</li>
  <li>Now I can't even open Intellij. It just says: Cannot start under Java 1.7.0_79-b15: Java 1.8 or later is required.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Note: I also have Android studio and Netbean and both have been working no problem. Heard Intellij was better than Netbean so tried using it for the first time.</p>
