How to install Java JRE in CentOS Linux

 

Step 1:  Making a new folder

As usual, let us make a data-store to keep all our software downloaded from internet

#mkdir /softaware

#cd /software

 

Step2: Download JRE javafrom Sun.com

Now, go to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp#jdkJavaEE, download the latest JRE java and put it into  'software' folder. My current version is 1.6.0_20. You version might be different.

 

Step3: Change the file attribute of the downloaded file

Let is change the file mode bit / attribute of the file. chmod +x command is change jre-6u20-linux-i586-rpm.bin from readonly mode to executable mode.

 

chmod +x jre-6u20-linux-i586-rpm.bin

 

Step3: Execute the jre*.bin file

Execute the  jre*.bin file now. the ./ is to command to run the jre file at this location.

./jre-6u20-linux-i586-rpm.bin


After you run the above command, you will see a long list of agreement, you must accept it. Type "yes" then press <ENTER> to start the java installation.

Step4 : Verify your jre installation

After installation, let us check if your java version has been installed correctly. Run "java -version" to show if the version 1.6.0_20 JRE was installed sucessfully.

 

# java -version

java version "1.6.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 16.3-b01, mixed mode, sharing)
