Hi

I want to run java -jar command and I have the following :
command not found

What I need to do?

Which command isn't being found, java or the command you're trying to run?

Please post exactly what you are typing and exactly what appears after you type it. Use copy/paste and wrap everything in code tags to make it readable.

I want to run .jar file
So I am using " java -jar <filename>" command to execute the java file
It gaves me an error - Command not found
I tried to make "java ?" , also - Command not found

Type this at a command prompt

Post the output.

/usr/bin/which: no java in (/usr/local/bin:/use/bin:/bin:/use/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/svbin:/home/student/bin)

Then you need to install java. If you don't know how to do that post which version of Linux you are using.

Yes I dont know how to do it
I have Fedora 14 - i686

Look in the menus under System → Administration and you should see an entry called 'Add/Remove Software'. Run that and search for Java. Select it and install.

Alternatively I think typing this at a command prompt will work but I don't have access to a computer running Fedora to check.
Or if not that then maybe this
You'll need to enter the root password when su asks you for it.

I cant do both ways

First I cant see anything in Add/Remove list something just about Java

Second, the commands give me next:

Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora.
Please verify its path and try again

=(

# yum install java : I'd say no to the gcj java.

Installing the genuine sun-java-jdk :

..

So it looks like your computer is having some sort of problem with retrieving the information from the repositories and that is going to prevent you installing Java.

Does the computer have Internet access?



Copy and paste can be done by selecting the text on the screen, right clicking and then selecting Copy. Then go to the window where you're composing your post and right click and select Paste.

Code tags can be created by selecting text in your post and then clicking the icon in the toolbar that look like #


Seriously, learn to use these for when you want to post the output of commands. It is much, much, better than you retyping what you can see.

Hi

I already solved the issue by downloading the Java rpm package, and installing it
For the snapshots, my Linux machine don't have Internet access, so I am using another one.

Anyway , thx for help !

Well if the computer doesn't have Interenet access you're not going to be able install anything from the repositories.
