JShell was introduced in JDK 9. To start JShell, enter the jshell command on the command line.
JDK 9 or higher must be installed on your system. If your path doesnât include the bin directory, for example java-home/jdk-9/bin, then start the tool from within that directory.
The following example shows the command and the response from JShell. Text that you enter is shown in bold:
% jshell

jshell>The examples in this tutorial use the verbose mode. Verbose mode is recommended as you work through this tutorial so that what you see matches the examples. When you are more familiar with the tool, you might prefer to run in normal or a more concise mode.
To start JShell in verbose mode, use the -v option:
% jshell -vTo exit JShell, enter /exit:
jshell> /exit
