install open jdk on debian 8.2?

how to install open jdk on debian 8.2?

Well, first what version do you want? 7 and 8 are both available on Jessie (assuming you use backports). If you want it for browser support, you'll want 7 (icedtea-8 still MIA).

Code:

apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk

If you just need a runtime environment to run java applets and not develop java programs, you can install jre instead of jdk.

Will get you the runtime environment and the development kit installed, which will more than likely cover whatever you need java for. If you also want the plugin for iceweasel then

Code:

apt-get install icedtea-plugin

thank you sir, what about open jdk 8?

openjdk-8-jdk if you need the development kit and all, openjdk-8-jre if you just need the runtime. Presently, Debian doesn't offer icedtea-8-plugin so the automated install of the browser plugin is not currently supported through apt.

have you thought about READING the debian guides ????
