Browser and Java (a.k.a JRE)

February 3, 2014

Personal note do install JRE, if needed (check it)

Steps

  1. Download the latest version (at time it’s Version 7 Update 51) and save in some directory, in my case I usually copy to /opt.

  2. Within the chosen directory, runn the following command on your shell:

		tar zxvf jre-7u51-linux-x64.tar.gz
		ln -sf jre1.7.0\_51 jre
		ln -sf `pwd`/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/

  1. Restart it, eg.: killall firefox :)

  2. Re-check
