Check to see if your Ubuntu Linux operating system architecture is 32-bit or 64-bit, open up a terminal and run the following command below.
Type/Copy/Paste:file /sbin/init
Note the bit version of your Ubuntu Linux operating system architecture it will display whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit.
2
Check if you have Java installed on your system.To do this, you will have to run the Java version command from terminal.
Open up a terminal and enter the following command:
Type/Copy/Paste:java -version
If you have OpenJDK installed on your system it may look like this:
java version "1.7.0_15"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.10pre) (7b15~pre1-0lucid1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode)
If you have OpenJDK installed on your system, you have the wrong vendor version of Java installed for this exercise.
3
Completely remove the OpenJDK/JRE from your system and create a directory to hold your Oracle Java JDK/JRE binaries.This will prevent system conflicts and confusion between different vendor versions of Java. For example, if you have the OpenJDK/JRE installed on your system, you can remove it by typing the following at the command line:
Type/Copy/Paste:sudo apt-get purge openjdk-\*
This command will completely remove OpenJDK/JRE from your system
Type/Copy/Paste:sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/java
This command will create a directory to hold your Oracle Java JDK and JRE binaries.
4
Download the Oracle Java JDK for Linux. Make sure you select thecorrectcompressed binaries for your system architecture 32-bit or 64-bit (which end in tar.gz).
For example, if you are on Ubuntu Linux 32-bit operating system download 32-bit Oracle Java binaries.
For example, if you are on Ubuntu Linux 64-bit operating system download 64-bit Oracle Java binaries.
Important Information:64-bit Oracle Java binaries do not work on 32-bit Ubuntu Linux operating systems, you will receive multiple system error messages, if you attempt to install 64-bit Oracle Java on 32-bit Ubuntu Linux.
5
Copy the Oracle Java binaries into the /usr/local/java directory.In most cases, the Oracle Java binaries are downloaded to: /home/"your_user_name"/Downloads.
32-bit Oracle Java on 32-bit Ubuntu Linux installation instructions:
Run the following commands on the downloaded Oracle Java tar.gz files. Make sure to do this as root in order to make them executable for all users on your system. To open a root terminal type sudo -s you will be prompted for your logon password.
32-bit Oracle Java on 32-bit Ubuntu Linux installation instructions:
Unpack the compressed Java binaries, in the directory /usr/local/java
32-bit Oracle Java on 32-bit Ubuntu Linux installation instructions:
Type/Copy/Paste:sudo tar xvzf jdk-7u45-linux-i586.tar.gz
64-bit Oracle Java on 64-bit Ubuntu Linux installation instructions:
Type/Copy/Paste:sudo tar xvzf jdk-7u45-linux-x64.tar.gz
8
Double-check your directories.At this point, you should have two uncompressed binary directories in /usr/local/java for the Java JDK/JRE listed as:
Type/Copy/Paste:ls -a
jdk1.7.0_45
9
Edit the system PATH file /etc/profile and add the following system variables to your system path.Use nano, gedit or any other text editor, as root, open up /etc/profile.
Type/Copy/Paste:sudo gedit /etc/profile
or
Type/Copy/Paste:sudo nano /etc/profile
10
Scroll down to the end of the file using your arrow keys and add the following lines below to the end of your /etc/profile file:
Inform your Ubuntu Linux system where your Oracle Java JDK/JRE is located.This will tell the system that the new Oracle Java version is available for use.
this command will set Java Web start for the system
14
Reload your system wide PATH /etc/profile by typing the following command:
Type/Copy/Paste:. /etc/profile
Note your system-wide PATH /etc/profile file will reload after reboot of your Ubuntu Linux system
15
Test to see if Oracle Java was installed correctly on your system.Run the following commands and note the version of Java:
16
A successful installation of 32-bit Oracle Java will display:
Type/Copy/Paste:java -version
This command displays the version of java running on your system
You should receive a message which displays:
java version "1.7.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.5_45-b18) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode)
Type/Copy/Paste:javac -version
This command lets you know that you are now able to compile Java programs from the terminal.
You should receive a message which displays:
javac 1.7.0_45
17
A successful installation of Oracle Java 64-bit will display:
Type/Copy/Paste:java -version
This command displays the version of java running on your system
You should receive a message which displays:
java version "1.7.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.5_45-b18) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode)
Type/Copy/Paste:javac -version
This command lets you know that you are now able to compile Java programs from the terminal.
You should receive a message which displays:
javac 1.7.5_40
18
Congratulations, you just installed Oracle Java on your Linux system.Now reboot your Ubuntu Linux system. Afterwards, your system will be fully configured for running and developing Java programs. Later on you may want to try compiling and running your own Java programs by following this articleHow to Create your First Java Program on Ubuntu Linux
