How to Install Java on Linux Lite

[firenice03]

OK so java isn't installed yet..

So I assume you've downloaded java and its in your download folder if so...
You can open terminal from here...

This will unzip/install

Code:

tar -zxvf jre-* -C /usr/lib/jvm/oracle_jdk8 --strip-components=1

Allow to run then

Code:

touch /etc/profile.d/oraclejdk.sh

Creates the file oraclejdk.sh

The next command will open the newly created file in a text editor (leafpad - similar to notepad)

Code:

leafpad /etc/profile.d/oraclejdk.sh

Leafpad will be blank - copy the next few lines into the document and save..
Its "coded" to ease selecting, just select and copy then paste into leafpad)

Code:

export J2SDKDIR=/usr/lib/jvm/oracle_jdk8
export J2REDIR=/usr/lib/jvm/oracle_jdk8/jre
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/jvm/oracle_jdk8/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/oracle_jdk8/db/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/oracle_jdk8/jre/bin
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/oracle_jdk8
export DERBY_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/oracle_jdk8/db

Once you have the above pasted and saved (file-save) you can close.
then in the terminal window

Code:

source /etc/profile.d/oraclejdk.sh
