1. Step 1
Determine your operating system 32 bit or 64 bit and what type of Java to install. Redhat Project Manager (RPM) uses Redhat to install automatically, but the computer needs to have Redhat with this option available. If it's on the computer or you're not sure, follow the instructions in Section 2 for self-extracting binary option.
2. Step 2
Download the file from Java's website. Make sure you download the self-extracting file for either 32 bit or 64 bit depending on your operating system.
3. Step 3
Switch to the directory where you saved the file and execute the binary "./jre-6u3-linux-i586-rpm.bin."
4. Step 4
Change permission to make executable if necessary with "chmod 755 jre-6u3-linux-i586-rpm.bin."
5. Step 5
Execute RPM, once the file has been executed and type "Yes" to accept the license agreement and allow it to finish the install.
6. Step 6
Create a symbolic link like "(cd /usr/bin)," "(ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_03//bin/java java)"or "(ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_03//bin/javac javac.)"
7. Step 7
Type "java -version" to confirm version and type "rpm -qa | grep jre" to confirm version against rpm database.

11. Step 4
Accept the license agreement.
12. Step 5
Remember your directory and create symbolic link such as "ln -s /home/gabby/java/jre1.6.0_03/bin/java java" or "ln -s /home/gabby/java/jre1.6.0_03/bin/javac javac."

hi there,

first download the LINUX version of the JDK from http//:java.sun.com
it is the file 
   jdk-6u12-linux-i586-rpm.bin 

First get a terminal window: right-click in the file manager "Open new terminal here", e.g. in the "My Documents" 
Now you type
   sudo bash

then start the installation by typing
   ./jdk-6u12-linux-i586-rpm.bin 

hope this helps!

You might also want to check out then NetBeans IDE from www.netbeans.org. works fine my the Acer One 110L

Yours, Daniel

Hi guys,

I've been trying to install programs like media player(vlc) , ant-virus on my acer aspire one notebook to no avail.
It just shows that the program is executing when i'm trying to install it.

How do you successfully install programs with the command line?

Thanks

rpm -ivh jre-7u7-linux-i586.rpm
rpm: RPM should not be used directly install RPM packages, use Alien instead!
rpm: However assuming you know what you are doing...
error: open of jre-7u7-linux-i586.rpm failed: No such file or directory
