You can do the following

$chmod +x jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin
$./jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin
#mv jre1.5.0_06 /usr/local/java

You need to add java to your path so that its recognised throught your system. To do this do

su
vim /etc/profile.d/jre.sh

add the code below to the file

Code:

#!/bin/sh

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java
export MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/local/java/man
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/java/bin:/usr/local/java/jre/bin

#chmod +x /etc/profile.d/jre.sh
logout and back in again (or do source /etc/profile) and java will be in your path.

Hello everyone,

Now I came to know why reddaz is called as GURU.
This is because reddaz knows what to tell and in which manner.

Just great. Hats off!

Do the following before executing the commands I posted above

Code:

$cd /home/ALU/Desktop
