#JAVA 16 INSTALLER INSTALL#

If you're using an older version Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install python-software-properties If you get add-apt-repository: command not found be sure to have software-properties-common installed: sudo apt-get install software-properties-common Sudo update-java-alternatives -set java-8-oracle Sudo update-java-alternatives -set java-7-oracle Then you can use the command update-java-alternatives to switch between installed version: # list available jdk You can also install multiple version of jdk, mixing openjdk and oracle versions. Install your preferred version of jdk (versions from java-6 to java-9 available): sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer Further, use Oracle JDK for development, just to avoid (very sporadic) compatibility issues (i've tried many years ago, it's surely better now).Īdd the webupd8 repo to your system: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java I advise you to not install packages manually on ubuntu system if there is already a (semi-official) repository able to solve your problem. UPDATE: installation without root privileges below Any other advice for this new issue would be appreciated, otherwise I will definitely be checking out that link first thing in the morning.

I saw that there's a link below, I intend to check it out in the morning, it's 2am and I'm tired right now. Now I have JDK 7, and Eclipse, and Maven, and they're all working, but I'm stuck on JDK 7 rather than 8. I installed OpenJDK 7, it came with Maven and just installed before I realized I was getting a two-for-one deal. In the meantime, I'm just gonna use the Oracle package. sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdkĮ: Unable to locate package openjdk-8-jdkĪny help would be appreciated.

Again, very new to Linux, been on my first Linux distro ever for less than an hour here at this point. I'm pasting the terminal command and the error message I get here, hoping for advice. What is the difference between the Oracle version and OpenJDK. So I just installed Ubuntu, and this is my first time working in a Linux environment, so bear with my noobishness here.Īnyway, I downloaded the Java 8 JDK directly from Oracle, but I understand there's also an OpenJDK for Java 8 as well.
