[mahadis@amsledi301 ~]$ rpm --prefix=/usr/newjava/ jdk-7u51-linux-x64.rpm
rpm: --prefix may only be used when installing new packages

I have created separate folder for its installation:

/usr/newjava

but when I try to install it says:

Code:

 rpm --prefix=/usr/newjava/ jdk-7u51-linux-x64.rpm
rpm: --prefix may only be used when installing new packages

current version of java is:-

Code:

> java -version
java version "1.6.0_17"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.3-b01, mixed mode)

Please advise me as how to installed already installed package into diffrent folder.

Thanks a lot.

You can download jdk-7u51-linux-x64.tar.gz and extract it to a directory of your liking

What Operating system is this ?
from the "rpm" it is one of the redhat based systems

you can install 1.7 side by side with OLD and unsupported 1.6
BUT
you will need to set " alternatives" to use the one you want

CentOS 6.5 has BOTH the old 1.6 and the newer 1.7 in the repos

Code:

yum search java

Thanks a lot Guys.

I did this.

Code:

 tar -xvf ~user1/try/jdk-7u51-linux-x64.tar.gz -C jdk1.7.0_51

and this is relocatable package.
