How to Install Java on Linux Lite

[firenice03]

Given up LOL; naw you're almost there - just little things, no show stoppers...
Just to confirm, your version of Linux lite is also 64bit?

So the error says there's no jre file.. It needs the correct location - you can cd to the full path or
Open Thunar (file manager) to the location of the downloaded JRE file. If its in your downloads folder open download.
Then right click (a blank area) and I believe its open terminal from here - you want terminal to be pointing to your downloads..

If you open terminal and its at "~" (aka your home folder - /home/user) You can cd to Downloads,

Code:

cd Downloads

The above is the same as the command below - assuming your username is linuxlite

Code:

cd /home/linuxlite/Downloads

You can confirm you are in the correct directory by typing

Code:

ls

This will list the items of the directory (folder) you're currently in (Downloads in this case) you should see the jre file listed - if not cd to the correct directory..

Then you can run the tar command..

Code:

tar -zxvf jre-* -C /usr/lib/jvm/oracle_jdk8 --strip-components=1

If you have already done the touch and leafpad commands those should be fine as is..
I would finish with the

Code:

source /etc/profile.d/oraclejdk.sh
