Answer
Install with package managers:
deb
-based distros (such as Debian
or Ubuntu
)
# Download deb package from https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/ # And then sudo dpkg -i jdk-17_linux-x64_bin.deb
rpm
-based distros (such as RHEL
or CentOS
)
# Download rpm package from https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/ # And then sudo rpm -i jdk-17_linux-x64_bin.rpm
Any distro without or with differrent package manager
Download x64 Compressed tar.gz Archive from https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/
Create jvm
directory
sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/jvm
Change to the directory.
cd /usr/lib/jvm
Extract jdk-17_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz
to that directory.
~/Downloads/
– is a directory where archive is saved.
If your downloaded file is in any other location, change the command according to your path.
sudo tar -xvzf ~/Downloads/jdk-17_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz
Enter the following command to open the environment variables file.
sudo ${EDITOR} /etc/environment
Edit your ${PATH}
# Add this to the $PATH variable /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-17/bin
Add the following environment variables at the end of the file.
JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-17"
Inform the system about the Java’s location.
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-17/bin/java" 0 sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javac" "javac" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-17/bin/javac" 0 sudo update-alternatives --set java /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-17/bin/java sudo update-alternatives --set javac /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-17/bin/javac
To check version:
java -version
