Issues with adding JRE into Ubuntu Server 10.04 64-bit


Hello,

I need JRE on my Ubuntu 10.04 server and am trying to install with add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner". However, it only ends up with
Quote:
sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found
so I'm going ahead with sudo apt-get install software-proprieties-common and it ends up with
Quote:
E: Couldn't find package software-proprieties-common
Would really appreciate some help on this, pls.

"add-apt-repository" application is in "python-software-properties" package. So install it:
Code:
apt-get install python-software-properties

IF you desire the real 'proprietary' version of java then there is a useful installer:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

But before running this check to see if it is compatible with 10.04 64 bit:
