this happens because your PATH variable in shell is not pointing to a location that java is installed.if you installed it correctly locate where is the folder that contains java file (using find / -name *java* ) as root and then open a terminal window as root and type:
Code:PATH=$PATH:<here you enter the location java is(full path)> that's it!
