How can I find and run the keytool

Question

I am reading an development guide of Facebook Developers at here   It says that I must use keytool to export the signature for my app such as   keytool -exportcert -alias androiddebugkey -keystore    android debug keystore   openssl sha1 -binary   openssl base64   I do not know how to find the keytool in order to run it  I tried to open a Windows command prompt and paste the above command  but it did not work

Few observations while I was getting the same problem (Windows). 1. Shell pipe is important. 2. If you are using OpenSSL or Cygwin, definitely you have to install it. 3. keytool comes with JDK so either you have to point to it in the command or you have cd to the JDK/bin folder (where the exe resides) 4. The debug keystore is typically located at ~/.android/debug.keystore 5. password is "android" whether you -keypass it or type it when prompted. 6. For the alias name, you can open (DO NOT SAVE, just open and close) the keystore file with any editor and read it. 7. MOST IMPORTANT - There is a difference is specifying the keystore path within quotes and without. I got it working by using the keystore path within the double quotes. As remix090378 said and as per the instruction, this command indeed worked - cd C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_09\bin

keytool -exportcert -alias androiddebugkey -keystore "C:\Users\userName.android\debug.keystore" -list -v

Given that you have installed Java and preferably a JDK in your system   answering for Windows because you mentioned it in your question  you should have the keytool utility on your installation s bin folder    If that s the case  what you can do next is add that bin folder to the PATH environment variable of your Windows installation    The next time you will open a Windows shell and you ll type keytool you will be able to run the actual utility

On cmd window  need to run as Administrator     cd  JAVA HOME     only works if you have set up your system environment variable JAVA HOME   To set up your system variable for your path  you can do this  setx  JAVA HOME  C  Java jdk1 8 0 121    Then  you can type  cd c  Java jdk1 8 0 121 bin   or   cd  JAVA HOME  bin   Then  execute any commands provided by JAVA jdk s  such as   keytool -genkey -v -keystore myapp keystore -alias myapp   You just have to answer the questions  equivalent to typing the values on cmd line  after hitting enter  The key would be generated

Robby Pond s answer can be generalized to use JAVA HOME environment variable and to also compensate for any blanks that might occur in the path  like Program Files      JAVA HOME  bin keytool  -exportcert -alias androiddebugkey -keystore    android debug keystore   openssl sha1 -binary   openssl base64
