Hi mlhazan!
I installed jdk on debian just a couple weeks ago, but i didn't followed the way you describe here...
First of all: the package you are trying to install is the jre, not the jdk...
Then, it seems to me the package you got with apt-get is the sun version of the j{dk,re}, which is the one I used: I downloaded it (and, if you want, also the jre after) directly from Sun website (Java SE Downloads - Previous Release - JDK 5).
After that, I can suggest you to install it following the instructions given by the vendor (you can find them at the web address above)...
I didn't met any problem... But if you are in trouble, I can send you the commands list I used.
Keep me up to date, good luck!

Hi

Sun's JDK has a nice graphical installer.
Download the newest version of jdk from sun's home page in .bin format than install it.
./jdk_from_sun.bin

pLEASE HELP ME TO INSTALL JDK

It's really easy to install jdk: after you downloaded the package from the Sun website (address in previous post, follow the "JDK 5.0 Update 12" download link, accept the license agreement on top of new page and look for the "Linux self-extracting file"), just move it to the place you want to install to (eg /usr/, /usr/local/, /usr/share/, /opt/, ... be sure you have the right permissions to do that), change dir to the same folder and then run

Code:

./jdk-1_5_0_12-linux-i586.bin

That's all. A graphical interface will then ask you to read and accept the licence and will automatically do all the rest.

Good luck!

I am really new in command terminal .My jdk file(jdk-1_5_0_12-linux-i586.bin) is on the desktop.So what should I do?please tell me the step by step process.

Ok, the first step is done. Now you get two more.
The first is to choose a location in your filesystem. In the previous post I told you about /usr, /usr/local, etc, but I think you should better choose /home/yourusername.
So
be sure to locate your BASH prompt to /home/yourusername/Desktop
(usually, when you open a new shell your prompt is placed into your home dir, so you only need to

Code:

cd Desktop/

)
and just type

Code:

mv jdk-1_5_0_12-linux-i586.bin ../

to move the installer to the installation directory.

The second step is the one I told you last time:
go back to your home dir (cd ../) and type

Code:

./jdk-1_5_0_12-linux-i586.bin

That's all.
After launching the jdk installation by means of the latter command, you will be told to "read" the license (you have to move down the text with SPACE) and then accept it by typing "yes".
Stop. At the end you will have your JDK installed on your PC.

Here what i did,according to your help:
debian:/home/mlhasan# cd Desktop/
debian:/home/mlhasan/Desktop# mv jdk-1_5_0_12-linux-i586.bin ../
debian:/home/mlhasan/Desktop# cd ..
debian:/home/mlhasan# ./jdk-1_5_0_12-linux-i586.bin
bash: ./jdk-1_5_0_12-linux-i586.bin: Permission denied
debian:/home/mlhasan#

Now I am confused.What can I do?Help me my boss.

hi
The run right isn't permitted on the bin files usually, so you need grant it.

Code:

chmod 755 jdk-1_5_0_12-linux-i586.bin

now you can install it

one more thing
you need add the jdk to the path variable
if you install the jdk to your home dir do this

Code:

export PATH=$PATH:"/home/yourusername/jdk-1_5_0_12/bin"

add that line to your .bashrc file for automate the process

**giacomella** · 07-30-2007

Hi iwanabeguru!
What you say is correct, but I'm afraid mlhazan hasn't the ownership of the file, so he needs a step more.

mlhazan, in your home directory please type

Code:

ls -l jdk*

and look at the outcoming message:
if you find something like this

Code:

-rw-r--r--    1 mlhazan users       49622107 2007-07-27 01:32 jdk-1_5_0_12-linux-i586.bin

then do what iwanabeguru said.
Else, if you get a message like this

Code:

-rw-r--r--    1 root root       49622107 2007-07-27 01:32 jdk-1_5_0_12-linux-i586.bin

you have just one more operation to do before the two iwanaeguru told you:

Code:

sudo chown mlhazan:users jdk-1_5_0_12-linux-i586.bin
