"install-java.sh" is an installation script for setting up Oracle Java Development Kit on Linux.
I'm mainly using Ubuntu and therefore this script is tested only on Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit version
This script will not download Java distribution. You need to download JDK from Oracle.
Only requirement is to have all required distributions in a single directory.
For example, if you want to install Java 7, following files must be downloaded.
- jdk-7u80-linux-x64.tar.gz
- jdk-7u80-linux-x64-demos.tar.gz
- UnlimitedJCEPolicyJDK7.zip
Similarly for Java 8, following are the files required
- jdk-8u45-linux-x64.tar.gz
- jdk-8u45-linux-x64-demos.tar.gz
- jce_policy-8.zip
The script needs to be run as root.
You need to provide the JDK distribution file (tar.gz) and the Java Installation Directory. The default value for Java installation directory is "/usr/lib/jvm"
Usage:
install-java.sh -f <java_dist> [-p] <java_dir>
-f: The jdk tar.gz file
-p: Java installation directory
Example: Install Oracle JDK 7
sudo ./install-java.sh -f ~/Software/jdk-7u72-linux-x64.tar.gz
Example: Install Oracle JDK 8
sudo ./install-java.sh -f ~/Software/jdk-8u25-linux-x64.tar.gz
