Finally, a tutorial that helped me out to install java on my Linux deepin *___*

[shixuenchin]

Really helpful, saved me tons of time

[manufactured_reality]

Thanks for the tutorial. May I ask you what the significance of '1010' is when you're executing the update-alternatives command?

[feromonxz]

Hey Tim. Thanks for a great tutorial. I noticed that after I moved the unzipped files from my ~/Downloads folder to /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-11.0.2/, it kept my user permissions from Downloads. This might be OK, but I went ahead and changed permissions to root with a sudo chown -R root:root /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-11.0.2/*. Doing this made the permissions match the other java directories and files in the jvm directory. I also had to run sudo update-alternatives --config java and select my newly installed so that java --version command displayed the right java version. Running update-alternatives borders on witchcraft and my release might be a little borked so others may not have these issues. Thanks again!

Hi Tim! Thanks for your work and tutorials. But I have a question about Oracle JDK and OpenJDK.
1) Why do you use Oracle JDK? I read some info's that Oracle is not free for commercial projects. SO I decided to install OpenJDK.

2) Does Oracle and Open JDK's have differences? Which is the best to use in education of JAVA? I mean will I have problems when I apply for a job with skills in OpenJDK?

Thank you Tim.

I have a question, after I type sudo mv jdk-11/* /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-11/ i get a line saying

Mv: cannot stat ‘jdk-11/*’ no such file or directory.

My understanding is that it’s saying that folder jdk 11does not exist. I tried to make jdk-11 file twice but still no help

You may also want to enable the jshell command using the following: (your jdk version may vary, here I'm using 14.0.2) sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/jshell" "jshell" 1010

Hello there Tim, If you can upload videos on interview preparations then that would be a great help from your side.

Heyy update-alternatives doesn't work on Manjaro (Arch Linux). So what should I use there?

[damercadoo]

Hey guys for my case in linux mint it didnt work sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" 1010, instead I had to use sudo update-alternatives --config java and there chose the option for jdk11 typing the number of the option and after that pressing enter

[georgihaydukov]

Is there a difference that i did the same but with java 11.02 and also how do i set it up in eclipse? Btw the videos are awesome!

[MrDahkilla]

What are the commands for Oracle linux ?
Thanks Tim!
