Hello. I currently have a brand new ubuntu x64 server, and im trying to install oracle JRE 7 on it. Can soembody help me? I remember some time ago, when I had my previous server, with centos, that I downlaoded the .bin package, and it was pretty easy to install it. But now, by request of a guy that runs server toguether with me, I put ubuntu. I know nothing of ubuntu. I also cant find anywhere the .bin download of the java. The link I found is this one: http://download.java.net/jdk7/ so only .tar.gz How do I install teh JRE 7 on ubuntu then?
Java Download (any version) click the JRE link under the big java button you can also do it via apt/aptitude, but i don't know the package name offhand EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
Oh, sorry, forgot to mention that im trying to put the JRE 7 one. Thats why i get the problem. I cant find the .bin of taht one, only tar.gz, and I have no idea how to install that one. Nvm, i managed to make it work. extracted it, then used Code: sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/local/jre1.7.0/bin/java 1 after that I Code: sudo update-alternatives --config java EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
