Trying to Install Java JRE
I am trying to install Java's latest JRE package on my Debian Linux box. I went to their download site and downloaded file to my "Desktop" called "jre-1_5_0_10-linux-i586.bin". I tried Google searching on how I install this file to my Debain system but I have had no luck. I have found a few suggestions however I can't figure this out.
Any suggestions? |
This is the stuff from Sun's website
Code:
cd /home/<you>/Desktop Code:
cd jre1.5.0_10 && |
The 1st part worked. I ran the chmod +x command and then the ./jre... command.
Now I am trying to install Java for Limewire so I am not sure if Limewire needs to have Java as a specific location. Anyone know? |
BAh just add Sid repo and apt-get install sun-java5-jre, unless your running Sarge you should not have any problems just pulling in the Java packages.
|
If I have a SID repo in my source.list but it is commented out, how do I force APT to run the APT-GET command just that once from the SID URL that is commented out?

why the case of sarge is not working... sarge too old ? For etch only it can be done hence :newbie: |
Personally, I prefer the old way.
