Install Java on SUSE 12 servers

Install Java on SUSE 12 servers.

About this task

Installation of Java is different in SLES-based distributions because SLES uses update-alternatives commands. For SUSE, we use a TGZ file in place of RPM.

To install Java on SUSE 12 servers:

Steps

  1. Untar the TGZ (for example, jre-XXXX-linux-x64.tar.gz) to /usr/java.
    This creates a directory of /usr/java/jre1.X.0_XX/.
  2. Apply the std update-alternatives procedure (the following example shows use of Java 8 (jre1.8.0_XX)): 
    /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/java/jre1.8.0_XX/bin/java" 40
/usr/sbin/update-alternatives --config java
/usr/sbin/update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/keytool” "keytool" "/usr/java/jre1.8.0_XX/bin/keytool" 40
/usr/sbin/update-alternatives --config keytool
