So I dl'ed the package, did chmod +x, and now have a folder wih a bunch of files in it. Where do I go from here? Do I have enough to to install the program? I now have a folder by the same name. Thanks from a noob.

When you make the .bin file executatle and install it, it's all there.

Find the executables and run Java from the command line.

The only thing left to do is to research the websites for your favorite browsers to find out how to link them to the new Java installation.

I would also suggest adding the java bin directory to your PATH:

Code:

PATH=$PATH:/<java install DIR>/bin
export PATH

test to see if you java instalation is good with 'java -version'
