java in redhat 8
 

i want to install java in red hat 8

:cry:

Then go for it :) Just download the appropriate JDK from Sun and install it.

It comes as a .bin file. You just have to chmod +x <filename> it. Run it and accept the license agreement. It will extract the embedded rpm for you in the same directory. Then just run, as root, "rpm -Uvh <filename>.

That's it other than setting up the $JAVA_HOME and appending the java directory to your path. This can be accomplished by adding the following lines to your /etc/profile or $HOME/.bashrc file. You may have to change the "j2sdk1.4.2" depending on what JDK version you installed.

export JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2"
export PATH="$PATH::$JAVA_HOME/bin"
