How to install java (jre or jdk) on ubuntu server, mainly pay attention to the following points: (also applicable on CentOS,RedHat)

1. Download the java version you want.

JRE download: http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp;(generally download JDK directly)

JDK Download: www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html

2. Assuming you downloaded jdk, copy the jdk archive jdk-8u131-linux-x64.tar.gz to/usr/lib/jvm. If there is no such folder, it will be automatically created:

cp jdk-8u131-linux-x64.tar.gz /usr/lib/jvm

Switch to/usr/lib/jvm and extract it in that directory:

cd /usr/lib/jvmtar xf jdk-8u131-linux-x64.tar.gz

3. Modify environment variables:

#vim ~/.bashrc

#Add the following (#sign not required in VIM)

#export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_131

#export CLASSPATH=.:$ {JAVA_HOME}/lib:${JRE_HOME}/lib

#export PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin:$PATH

#Save and make it effective

#source ~/.bashrc

4. Configure default programs

#update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_131/bin/java 50

# update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_131/bin/javac 50

# update-alternatives --config java

#If you have other jdk installed in your system, the system will prompt you, select jdk1.8.0_131

Note: If you install jre, just configure the first item above, that is: java

5. Test installation is complete

#java -version

java version "1.8.0_131"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_131-b11)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b11, mixed mode)

If the correct version information appears, such as java version jdk1.7.0_17, the installation is complete;

If the following results appear, there is a problem with the installed version, such as 32-bit java installed on a 64-bit system.

-bash: /usr/bin/java: No such file or directory

This problem can be solved by the following command:

sudo apt-get install libc6-i386

When you use java -version again, the correct version information appears.

Now that the Java environment is fully configured, you can happily write Java programs.
