Installing Java using Ubuntu


hi guys - can anyone help?

Would anyone be able to tell me in really simple terms to install Java on Ubuntu, I have just started using Ubuntu after using Windows for years. I have tried and tried but nothing is working. Also how do you execute a command so that it opens and installs Java. Does anyone know which Java release would suit best?

Thanks

Open up Synaptic and make sure that you have all of the extra repositories enabled. The using the synaptic package manager do a search for jre. Pick the one from Sun. That will install it for you and any dependencies.
