How To Install Oracle (Sun) Java JDK & JRE in Ubuntu via PPA

By: Unknown on 7:33 AM

This package provides Oracle Java JDK 7 (which includes Java JDK, JRE and the Java browser plugin). However, you can't only install Oracle JRE - the PPA only provides the full Oracle JDK7 package.


To add our PPA and install the latest Oracle Java 7 in Ubuntu (supports Ubuntu 13.10, 13.04, 12.10, 12.04 and 10.04), use the commands below:

> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
> sudo apt-get update
> sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
