Q: Java Command tool need to install
I am getting this error after installing new sierra OS. Java is up to date. How do I correct? Thanks.

The most likely cause is the program that wants to use Java is only requesting the use of Apple's legacy Java 6. As the developers didn't care enough to have it use Java the correct way, you will have to install Apple's legacy Java 6 or uninstall the program that wants to use Java--most likely Adobe products or some Facebook Video chat program.
Download Java for OS X 2015-001
It may be that the program requires a JDK be installed instead of the JRE from Java.com. So, if you didn't download the Oracle Java Development Kit from Oracle's website, then you could try that so you could have a current version of Java. However, I don't think I've seen anyone report that as successful as the program needing Java was so poorly engineered.
