How to Install Java Runtime Environment – Linux
You can download SUN’s latest Java JDKs at: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp.
For my 64-bit Debian system I selected the 64-bit JDK multiplatform binary for Linux: jdk-6u10-linux-x64.bin.
I downloaded the binary file to /tmp and installed it as follows as root:
# mkdir -p /usr/java # cd /usr/java # # chmod 700 /tmp/jdk-6u10-linux-x64.bin # /tmp/jdk-6u10-linux-x64.bin ... creating: jdk1.6.0_10/ creating: jdk1.6.0_10/db/ creating: jdk1.6.0_10/db/bin/ inflating: jdk1.6.0_10/db/bin/ij inflating: jdk1.6.0_10/db/bin/NetworkServerControl inflating: jdk1.6.0_10/db/bin/setNetworkClientCP.bat inflating: jdk1.6.0_10/db/bin/derby_common.sh ...
