Error - Cannot read JVMCI version from java.vm.version property

[Deepali Patel]

Yes looks like some issue with the env variable. I do not have a directory called "pathto". I just pasted that instead of putting the path of directory where Graal is present. 
I tried everything all over and it worked. 

Regards
Deepali

It seems like your $JAVA_HOME env var has a problem otherwise mx should be picking up /pathto/Graal/graal-jvmci-8/jdk1.8.0_121/product not /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre. Do you really have a root directory on your system named "pathto"? You can use the --java-home option to mx instead of JAVA_HOME:

mx --java-home /pathto/Graal/graal-jvmci-8/jdk1.8.0_121/product ...
