Installing Java under Ubuntu






Issue


By default, Firefox does not come with Java.

Solution

  • Open a terminal (Application Menu/ Accessories/ Terminal) and type in: 
    • sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin

or 
    • sudo aptitude install sun-java5-jre sun-java5-plugin
  • Enter your password if prompted.
  • A license window will appear: Press TAB and then ENTER.
  • If a question is asked, answer "yes" (using the arrow keys and the ENTER key).


Conclusion:

You should now be able to run Java programs and see Java applets in the Firefox browser.
