Did:

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0/bin/java 1

Then:

sudo update-alternatives --config java

But I get:

There is only one alternative in link group java (providing /usr/bin/java): /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0/bin/java
Nothing to configure.

And

bash: /usr/bin/java: No such file or directory

I followed How can I install Sun-Oracles proprietary Java?

I think my friend gave me the wrong version of Ubuntu. Using the 64bit jre now gives me:

java version "1.7.0_17"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_17-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)
