You'll probably need to provide more information before anyone can help you.

What have you tried?

What kind of trouble are you having?

Any error messages?

i need help installing the java runtime enviroment software since the site isnt very helpful on all the details on installing it and not very helpful script eather

[ozar]

I don't use any java so can't help much but maybe this Ubuntu/Java HowTo will get you up and running:

You need to enable multiverse in your /etc/apt/sources.list

Open a terminal and type:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

This will pull up your repositories.
Then uncomment (delete the # sign), next to the universe/multiverse repo's
Save it and do a:

sudo apt-get update

Then go open System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager,

After it opens, hit Ctrl+F and type in 'java'. You should now find what you want!

Cheers!
