IntroductionThis tutorial will show you how to install Java on CentOS 7 (also 6 and 6.5), modern Fedora releases, and RHEL. Java is a popular software platform that allows you to run Java applications and applets.The installation of the following versions of Java are covered:. OpenJDK 8. OpenJDK 7. OpenJDK 6.

Oracle Java 9. Oracle Java 8Feel free to skip to your desired section using the Contents button on the sidebar! PrerequisitesBefore you begin this guide, you should have a regular, non-root user with sudo privileges configured on both of your servers–this is the user that you should log in to your servers as. You can learn how to configure a regular user account by following the steps in our.

Variations of JavaThere are three different editions of the Java Platform: Standard Edition (SE), Enterprise Edition (EE), and Micro Edition (ME). This tutorial is focused on Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition).There are two different Java SE packages that can be installed: the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and the Java Development Kit (JDK). JRE is an implementation of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which allows you to run compiled Java applications and applets.

JDK includes JRE and other software that is required for writing, developing, and compiling Java applications and applets.There are also two different implementations of Java: OpenJDK and Oracle Java. Both implementations are based largely on the same code but OpenJDK, the reference implementation of Java, is fully open source while Oracle Java contains some proprietary code. Most Java applications will work fine with either but you should use whichever implementation your software calls for.You may install various versions and releases of Java on a single system, but most people only need one installation. With that in mind, try to only install the version of Java that you need to run or develop your application(s). Install OpenJDK 8This section will show you how to install the prebuilt OpenJDK 8 JRE and JDK packages using the yum package manager, which is similar to apt-get for Ubuntu/Debian. OpenJDK 8 is the latest version of OpenJDK. Install OpenJDK 8 JRETo install OpenJDK 8 JRE using yum, run this command:.

sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdkAt the confirmation prompt, enter y then RETURN to continue with the installation.Congratulations! You have installed OpenJDK 8 JRE. Install OpenJDK 8 JDKTo install OpenJDK 8 JDK using yum, run this command:. sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-develAt the confirmation prompt, enter y then RETURN to continue with the installation.Congratulations!

You have installed OpenJDK 8 JDK. Install OpenJDK 7This section will show you how to install the prebuilt OpenJDK 7 JRE and JDK packages using the yum package manager. Install OpenJDK 7 JRETo install OpenJDK 7 JRE using yum, run this command:. sudo yum install java-1.7.0-openjdkAt the confirmation prompt, enter y then RETURN to continue with the installation.Congratulations! You have installed OpenJDK 7 JRE.

Install OpenJDK 7 JDKTo install OpenJDK 7 JDK using yum, run this command:. sudo yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk-develAt the confirmation prompt, enter y then RETURN to continue with the installation.Congratulations! You have installed OpenJDK 7 JDK. Install OpenJDK 6This section will show you how to install the prebuilt OpenJDK 6 JRE and JDK packages using the yum package manager. Install OpenJDK 6To install OpenJDK 6 JRE using yum, run this command:. sudo yum install java-1.6.0-openjdkAt the confirmation prompt, enter y then RETURN to continue with the installation.Congratulations!

You have installed OpenJDK 6 JRE. Install OpenJDK 6 JDKTo install OpenJDK 6 JDK using yum, run this command:. sudo yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk-develAt the confirmation prompt, enter y then RETURN to continue with the installation.Congratulations! You have installed OpenJDK 6 JDK. Install Oracle Java 9This section of the guide will show you how to install Oracle Java 9 JRE and JDK (64-bit), the latest release of these packages at the time of this writing.Throughout this section we will be using the wget command to download the Oracle Java software packages. Wget may not be included by default on your Linux distribution, so in order to follow along you will need to install it by running:.

sudo yum install wgetNote: You must accept the Oracle Binary Code License Agreement for Java SE, which is one of the included steps, before installing Oracle Java.Install Oracle Java 9 JRENote: In order to install Oracle Java 9 JRE, you wil need to go to the, accept the license agreement, and copy the download link of the appropriate Linux.rpm package. OutputThere are 5 programs which provide 'java'.Selection Command-1 java-1.7.0-openjdk.x8664 (/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.161-2.6.12.0.el74.x8664/jre/bin/java)2 java-1.8.0-openjdk.x8664 (/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.151-5.b12.el74.x8664/jre/bin/java)3 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x8664/bin/java.+ 4 /usr/java/jre-9.0.4/bin/java5 /usr/java/jdk-9.0.4/bin/javaEnter to keep the current selection+, or type selection number:Simply enter the a selection number to choose which java executable should be used by default. Using Environment VariablesMany Java applications use the JAVAHOME or JREHOME environment variables to determine which java executable to use.For example, if you installed Java to /usr/java/jdk1.8.0161/jre/bin (i.e. Java executable is located at /usr/java/jdk1.8.0161/jre/bin/java), you could set your JAVAHOME environment variable in a bash shell or script like so:. export JAVAHOME= /usr/java/jdk1.8.0161/jreIf you want JAVAHOME to be set for every user on the system by default, add the previous line to the /etc/environment file. An easy way to append it to the file is to run this command:. sudo sh -c 'echo export JAVAHOME= /usr/java/jdk1.8.0161/jre /etc/environment'ConclusionCongratulations, you are now set to run and/or develop your Java applications!
