Newbie needs help Installing j2sdk-1_4_2-nb_3_5_1-bin-linux.bin
Hi,
I'm totally new to linux, defecting from the microsoft platform. I have just downloaded j2sdk-1_4_2-nb_3_5_1-bin-linux.bin from the sun website, and would like toinstall it on my redhat 9 sytem. This installation includes the latest jdk and the latest netbeans ide. i tried runing the command ./<filename> which i found from google, but with no success. I would really appreciate it if anyone coul dpoint me in the right direction! I know basic commands for unzipping, and zipping files, and i know rpm is a command for installing rpm files, but i haven't the slightest idea of where to start with .bin files. Thanks in advance, Ben |
Welcome to LQ.
What do you mean by no success? Did you get an error? try running: chmod 700 j2sdk-1_4_2-nb_3_5_1-bin-linux.bin ./j2sdk-1_4_2-nb_3_5_1-bin-linux.bin |
Thanks for you reply.
I can only run this part of the command at my shell prompt: chmod 700 j2sdk-1_4_2-nb_3_5_1-bin-linux.bin I get theh following error when i run the entire comand you gave me: chmod: failed to get attributes of `j2sdk-1_4_2-nb_3_5_1-bin-linux.bin': No such file or directory chmod: failed to get attributes of `./j2sdk-1_4_2-nb_3_5_1-bin-linux.bin': No such file or directory |
Make sure you are in the directory where j2sdk-1_4_2-nb_3_5_1-bin-linux.bin is before you ru nthe commands.
