I am new to centos and linux systems. I have downloaded both jdk-6u35-linux-x64.bin and .rpm.bin but neither of them is giving me .rpm file to install nor .bin is executing by itself
i have tried commands like ./ jdk..... .bin and gunzip for .tar files
Can anyone kindly tell me few steps to install jdk1.6 in centos 6.5(Final) 64 bit machine with suitable download link
I advise you to use the same JDK as you may use with Windows: the Oracle one.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Go to the Java SE 7u67 section and click on JDK7 Download button on the right.
On the new page select the option "(ยค) Accept License Agreement"
Then click on jdk-7u67-linux-x64.rpm
On your CentOS, as root, run:
$ rpm -Uvh jdk-7u67-linux-x64.rpm
$ alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/latest/bin/java 2
You may already have a Java 5 installed on your box... before installing the downloaded rpm remove previous Java by running this command yum remove java
There are JDK versions available from the base CentOS repositories. Depending on your version of CentOS, and the JDK you want to install, the following as root should give you what you want:
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (Java SE 6)
yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (Java SE 7)
yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk
OpenJDK Development Environment (Java SE 7)
yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel
OpenJDK Development Environment (Java SE 6)
yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel
Update for Java 8
In CentOS 6.6 or later, Java 8 is available. Similar to 6 and 7 above, the packages are as follows:
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (Java SE 8)
yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk
OpenJDK Development Environment (Java SE 8)
yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel
There's also a 'headless' JRE package that is the same as the above JRE, except it doesn't contain audio/video support. This can be used for a slightly more minimal installation:
OpenJDK Runtime Environment - Headless (Java SE 8)
yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless
Try the following to see if you have the proper repository installed:
# yum search java | grep 'java-'
This is going to return a list of available packages that have java in the title. Specifically we are interested in the java- anything, as the jdk will typically be in 'java-version#' type format... Anyhow, if you have to install a repo look at Dag Wieers repo:
http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/FAQ.php#B
After you've got it installed try yum search again... This time you'll have a bunch of java stuff.
# yum search java | grep 'java-'
This will return the list of the available java packages. You can install one like this:
# yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64
Here is something that might help. Use the root privileges. if you have .bin then simply add the execution permission to the bin file.
chmod a+x jdk*.bin
next step is to run the .bin file which is simply
./jdk*.bin in the location you want to install.
you are done.
