Just a quick set of notes I accumulated earlier when I installed the new JRE on a couple of 64-bit (AMD64) Intrepid machines.
- Download the JRE or the JDK for 6u12 from Sun Microsystem’s Java download page. Select the bin option, NOT the RPM.
- Save the file to your home directory.
- When the download is complete, open a terminal and enter:
- chmod +x jre-6u12-linux-x64.bin
- mv jre-6u12-linux-x64.bin /opt
- cd /opt
- ./jre-6u12-linux-x64.bin
- Type “q” and then type “yes” followed by
to accept the license agreement, and the software will now extract in /opt/jre1.6.0_12 - Tell Ubuntu how to use it:
- sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /opt/jre1.6.0_12/bin/java 1
- sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/xulrunner/plugins/javaplugin.so xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so /opt/jre1.6.0_12/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so 1
- If you downloaded the JDK, set up links for javac this way, too.
- Tell your Ubuntu system to use the new JRE:
- sudo update-alternatives --set java /opt/jre1.6.0_12/bin/java
- sudo update-alternatives --set xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so /opt/jre1.6.0_12/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
- Restart Firefox, and verify that it works:
- Type “about:plugins” in the address bar, and you should see a bunch of stuff for Java there.
- Go to the Java Version Tester. It should tell you that you are running Java Version 1.6.0_12 from Sun Microsystems Inc.
There you have it—a functioning Sun JVM in your 64-bit Web browser. It’s about damn time, Sun!
