How to Install Java Compiler in Linux Terminal
To install the Java compiler on a Linux system, you will first need to decide which version of Java you want; OpenJDK or Oracle Java. The most common version installed is OpenJDK.
You can install the Java Development Kit (JDK) which includes the Java compiler by opening your terminal and using the package manager that comes with your Linux distribution. Here is a step-by-step guide:
Open the terminal.
Update your package list with sudo apt update (for Debian-based systems) or the equivalent for your distribution.
Install the JDK with sudo apt install default-jdk for Debian-based systems or the equivalent for your distribution. This command installs OpenJDK.
Verify the installation by typing java -version. You should see the installed version of Java displayed.
If you require Oracle Java, you may need to download the Java installer from the Oracle website and follow their specific instructions.
Always ensure you have the correct permissions and follow the licensing agreements associated with the software you are installing.
