# Java
|
|
|
|
This article covers obtaining open source Java as well as Oracle Java.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
If you are looking for OpenJDK or OpenJRE, install `openjdk-8` from the repository. The instructions below are for Oracle Java.
|
|
|
|
You can set up Java by following the instructions below:
|
|
|
|
## JRE
|
|
|
|
Grab the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) as `.tar.gz` from the [Oracle Download Page](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html).
|
|
|
|
Extract JRE and move it to /opt:
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
cd ~/Downloads
|
|
tar xf jre-8u121-linux-x64.tar.gz
|
|
sudo mv jre1.8.0_121 /opt/
|
|
sudo ln -svf /opt/jre1.8.0_121/bin/java /usr/bin/java
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To enable Java in Firefox:
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
mkdir -p ~/.mozilla/plugins
|
|
ln -s /opt/jre1.8.0_121/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## JDK
|
|
|
|
Grab the Java Development Kit (JDK) as `.tar.gz` from the [Oracle Download Page](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html).
|
|
|
|
Extract JDK and move it to /opt:
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
cd ~/Downloads
|
|
tar xf jdk-8u121-linux-x64.tar.gz
|
|
sudo mv jdk1.8.0_121 /opt/
|
|
sudo ln -svf /opt/jdk1.8.0_121/bin/java /usr/bin/java
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To enable Java in Firefox:
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
mkdir -p ~/.mozilla/plugins
|
|
ln -s /opt/jdk1.8.0_121/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so
