Install Java on Cent OS

Question

I want to install JAVA on centOs. I followed the following post but its for openJDK. What i want to install is the Oracle version of it.

Then i followed the this article, and was unable to add the path as shown in point 10 of the article.

I think i am looking at the wrong resources to install java on CentOS, therefore can someone please help me install it by giving me steps.

I would give it a try this http://askubuntu.com/a/55960/18075 It is for ubuntu installation but I think you can install it on centos quite similar... — ibrahim, May 10 '14 at 08:26

Use the following steps:

Download the installation package (see https://stackoverflow.com/a/10959815/3618339):

wget --no-check-certificate --no-cookies --header "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/jdk-7u55-linux-x64.rpm

Install the package:

rpm -Uvh jdk-7u55-linux-x64.rpm

That's all you need.

Java 8 is out. Why install rpm for 7u55? – Alexandros May 10 '14 at 08:04
Yes, you're right. Just replace *7u55* with *8u5* in both commands. – Torino May 10 '14 at 10:09
What about setting path to JAVA_HOME ? Are these done automatically ? – Illep May 10 '14 at 12:48
There's no need to set JAVA_HOME. There will be an executable binary *java* in /usr/bin, which is sufficiently intelligent to find all the necessary directories of the Java environment. – Torino May 10 '14 at 13:24
