Hi,

I downloaded jdk-6u26-linux-x64.bin from the oracle website. I was able to unpack it in my home directory, and from there I can go into /jdk1.6.0_26/bin/ and find javac, and run it from there. But it doesn't work elsewhere.

I want to be able to type javac from anywhere. How do I do this? I imagine I will have to unpack jdk-6u26-linux-x64.bin in some other directory, but where?

If there is an easier way, please let me know. I just need to compile java programs...
