I downloaded the Java for Linux file and it's a .bin file. How would I install it? Please give me the commands with the following file name included:

 

jre-6u3-linux-i586.bin

 

Many thanks.


have you tried

Code:
chmod +x jre-6u3-linux-i586.bin




 

followed by

Code:
sh ./jre-6u3-linux-i586.bin




 

cheers

it depends, on what distro you use, with debian-based, you just in

Code:
apt-get update && apt-get install sun-java6-jre


and if you want the plugin, get 'sun-java6-plugin' with apt too!

otherwise you'll find the rpm, deb and source here: java-packages just follow the instruction and you're ready to go!

 

//edit: why is my codebox soo huge??? sorry about that!
