JDK (JavaDevelopment Kit) is the core of Java, including the Java Runtime Environment, tools, and basic class libraries. JDK has multiple versions. The common version is Java SE, which is the standard version. This article is the installation method of the standard version 7bs. The installation steps for Ubuntu 12.10 are as follows.
1. Download the Installation File
On the JDK official website www.Oracle.com, go to the download page, Select accept authorization protocol, and then select the corresponding file to download. In this installation practice, select the jdk-7u17-linux-i586.tar.gz for linuxx86. as for the installation of jdk-7u17-linux-i586.rpm, refer to other documents.
For the download method, you can use commands or manually download them.
2. decompress the package to the target folder.

Enter the following command to decompress jdk-7u17-linux-i586.tar.gz to the target Folder:
Sudo tar zxvf./jdk-7u17-linux-i586.tar.gz-C/usr/lib/jvm
In this installation practice, jdk-7u17-linux-i586.tar.gz in the root directory of the current user, the second parameter of the tar command is./jdk-7u17-linux-i586.tar.gz, of course, you can use the absolute path, no more details.
3. Add Environment Variables
Run the following command to open the file:
Gedit ~ /. Bashrc
The following statement is used at the end of the. bashrc file:
# Java jdk configuration
Export JAVA_HOME =/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0 _ 17
Export JRE_HOME =$ {JAVA_HOME}/jre
Export CLASSPATH =. :$ {JAVA_HOME}/lib :$ {JRE_HOME}/lib
Export PATH =$ {JAVA_HOME}/bin: $ PATH
Run the following command to make it take effect immediately:
Source ~ /. Bashrc

If there is only one JDK in the system, the above steps have been completed. If multiple jdks exist in the system, such as openjdk and sunjdk, You need to configure the default JDK by following the steps below.
1) execute the following command:
Sudo update-alternatives -- install/usr/lib/java/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0 _ 17/bin/java 300
Sudo update-alternatives -- install/usr/lib/javac/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0 _ 17/bin/javac 300
2) execute the following command:
Sudo update-alternatives -- config java
In this case, the system lists information about JDK versions. The default JDK is marked. To maintain the current default JDK, press the Enter key. Otherwise, enter the corresponding JDK number and set it to the default version.
