I just installed IntelliJ IDEA and when I try to create my first Project it asks for me to set up the Project SDK. When I click on "JDK" it asks for me to select the home directory of the JDK as shown in this image.
I'm having trouble locating where it is.

Solution 1 - Java
For a new project select the home directory of the jdk
eg C:\Java\jdk1.7.0_99
or C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_99
For an existing project.

jdk
installed on the system.
for instance in

Solution 2 - Java
For IntelliJ IDEA 2017.2 I did the following to fix this issue: Go to your project structure Now go to SDKs under platform settings and click the green add button. Add your JDK path. In my case it was this path C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_144 Now Just go Project under Project settings and select the project SDK.
