Here is what you need to do to install java on your computer. Open a command line or terminal. Then you need to enter this

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts

Then you just hit enter and it will start to install. The first thing that will come up is the Sun Distributors Lincense. Just go through this and then the packets will start to install on you computer.

Once it is all installed you can check to make sure that everything is correct but typing

Code: Select all

java -version

and you should get an output similar to this:
java version “1.6.0″
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode, sharing)

Cheers!
