INSTALLATION OF JAVA

1. Open up the Terminal (Appl


ications > Accessories > Terminal).
2. Copy/Paste or type the following line of code into Terminal and then press enter:
3. First remove every openjdk package including icedtea-plugin:
sudo apt-get update && apt-get remove openjdk-6-jre
Because libreoffice needs openjdk, your mint linux will automatically install openjdk-7
dependencies.
That would not be any problem for this tutorial.
Just because you can and it's recommended:
sudo apt-get autoremove && apt-get clean
All unnecessary packages will be removed.
Install JAVA
Download the tar.gz java package for linux on www.java.com and store the file in the
folder Downloads.
(if you have Linux x64, download the x64 bit package, do not download the RPM!!)
1. In your terminal, run the command thats create a new subfolder in the directory opt.
2. Check if you want to create a x64 or 32 bit java directory.
32 Bit version:
sudo mkdir -p -v /opt/java/32
64-Bit version:
sudo mkdir -p -v /opt/java/64
3. Go to your download folder (where you have downloaded java).
4. Unpack it to the created subfolder.
32 Bit version:
cd ~/Downloads
tar -zxvf jre-7u9-linux-i586.tar.gz
sudo mv -v jre1.7.0_* /opt/java/32
64-Bit version:
cd ~/Downloads
tar -zxvf jre-7u9-linux-x64.tar.gz
sudo mv -v jre1.7.0_* /opt/java/64
5. The last step is to make the new JRE as default: (Check if you have 32 or x64)
32 Bit version:
sudo
update-alternatives
--install
"/usr/bin/java"
"/opt/java/32/jre1.7.0_09/bin/java" 1
