Install Synoptix Workstation Client

Before installing Synoptix, install Corretto software. This is a free software that serves as a Java server environment. Install instructions are provided on this page, but I am copying the current instructions from the Corretto website for this article. The instructions specify Corretto 8, which is the version required by Synoptix.

OpenJDK Download - Corretto - AWS (amazon.com)

Prerequisite: Amazon Corretto 8 requires Visual C++ Redistributable Package for Visual Studio 2013 or newer. If it's not installed in your system, you can find it from Microsoft Download Center page.

Download a Windows .msi file from the Downloads page.
Double-click the .msi file to start the installation wizard.
Follow the steps in the wizard.

You have the option of setting a custom installation path. By default, Amazon Corretto 8 is installed at C:\Program Files\Amazon Corretto\. If you set a custom path, make a note of it for the next step.
Once the install wizard is finished, set the JAVA_HOME and PATH environment variables. Go to System, advanced Settings to set environment variables.
Set JAVA_HOME to the installation location, noting that the directory contains the currently installed version. For example, if the default directory is used for 8u252, then set JAVA_HOME as C:\Program Files\Amazon Corretto\jdk1.8.0_252.
Add %JAVA_HOME%\bin to the current PATH variable.
Verify the installation by running java -version in a command prompt. You should see the following output.
