Java Machine Installation?

[BMW]

All,

I have installed RedHat8 on my desktop PC. I followed default options during the inatallation. After that, everything is running fine. But when I try to download some freeware from the web, it said I need Java Machine? How do I install the Java Machine from this point? I have the RedHat CD handy......

Many thanks!

Kelvin

Hi,
You search for java download for Linux and download that. You can download the run time version.
After installing that note down the directory [/java1.4 for example]
After that set
export $PATH=$PATH:/java1.4:/java1.4/bin:/java1.4/lib
Note down the jar files and set the CLASSPATH as
export CLASSPATH=<jar_1_file_with_path>:<jar_2_file_with_path>:...
Finally say
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$HOME
Then you are all set to install your software
Hope this helps
