Installing default JRE/JDK on Ubuntu

Installing Java with apt-get is easy.


1. First, update the package index:
sudo apt-get update
2. Then, check if Java is not already installed:
java -version
3. If it returns "The program java can be found in the following packages",
Java hasn't been installed yet, so execute the following command:
sudo apt-get install default-jre
This will install the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
4. If you instead need the Java Development Kit (JDK), which is usually
needed to compile Java applications (for example Apache Ant, Apache
Maven, Eclipse and Intel IDEA execute the following command )
sudo apt-get install default-jdk

Step to setup Java Path


The following are the step to set the Java Home and path:
1. Launch the Terminal and do sudo su.
2. Identify where Java is stored on your machine by using the command,
which java
3. Now to set the JAVA_HOME globally, we edit the bash .bashrc file.
4. At the end of the file type the following, one line at a time,
i. JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java/bin
ii. export JAVA_HOME
iii. PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME
iv. export PATH
5. Close the Ternimal and open it again.
6. Run the following command
echo $JAVA_HOME
You will now get the new path that you have set.
7. Type the following command to check the java version
java -version
