At the fourth dimension of writing this guide the jdk version was jdk-7u79-linux-x64.tar.gz. Note that I’m using x64 which is 64-bit. 32-bit users should direct their versions accordingly. Not that tough really!
Following is what I’ve used inwards this guide:
Download in addition to salve the file inwards /root directory.
Uncompress archive
Now yous uncompress in addition to movement the whole uncompressed folder to /opt (optional) directory.
tar -xzvf /root/jdk-7u79-linux-x64.tar.gz
mv jdk1.7.0_79 /opt
cd /opt/jdk1.7.0_79
Install in addition to register binaries
This pace registers the downloaded version of Java equally an alternative, in addition to switches it to hold upward used equally the default:
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java coffee /opt/jdk1.7.0_79/bin/java 1
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /opt/jdk1.7.0_79/bin/javac 1
update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so mozilla-javaplugin.so /opt/jdk1.7.0_79/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so 1

I’d propose to bookmark this site to hold upward able to reopen these instructions quickly, or only re-create these into a leafpad / vi / text-editor.
