How do I install java on centos?
Step 1: download the JDK or JRE from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Step 2: chmod +x
Example:
[root@interweb tmp]# wget http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/6u25-b06/jre-6u25-linux-x64-rpm.bin [root@interweb tmp]# mv jre-6u25-linux-x64-rpm.bin\?e\=1305390057\&h\=b1bb96445e6d1965e1c566f5279a49f2 jre-6u25-linux-x64-rpm.bin [root@interweb tmp]# chmod +x jre-6u25-linux-x64-rpm.bin [root@interweb tmp]# ./jre-6u25-linux-x64-rpm.bin Unpacking...
