how to install openjdk

Question

When I try

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk

I got a message telling me that the package could not be found in database. I guess I'm missing repositories.

here's the content of sources.list file :

deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy restricted universe multiverse 
deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy-updates restricted universe multiverse
deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy-security restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu saucy partner
deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu saucy main
deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy-proposed restricted universe multiverse
deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy-backports restricted universe multiverse

Which is the repository to install openjdk 7. Thanks

When I do

sudo apt-get install -f 
apt-cache policy openjdk-7-jdk

I got this :

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded

there's openjdk7 in main server http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/saucy/openjdk-7 did you try to install from main server? edit /etc/apt/sources.list — JoKeR, Mar 02 '14 at 15:23
Now I have the error unmet dependencies. I will look to fix that — Hunsu, Mar 02 '14 at 15:26
you'll be having unmet dependencies with the packages that have not yet been updated in fr.archive.ubuntu.com you rather should wait til' it appears in your current server repos or install it manually and so on... Alternative way out disable fr.archive temporary. how to resolve unmet dependencies — JoKeR, Mar 02 '14 at 15:34
I have tried all the solution given in your link but it doesn't work for me. If I disable fr.archive I got not found error. How can I install the current version in the repository? — Hunsu, Mar 02 '14 at 16:08
You can't add anything to fr.archive if that what you mean as it's maintained by the owners who responsible for it. when you disable fr.archive you must enable us.archive for example and run sudo apt-get update — JoKeR, Mar 02 '14 at 16:14
I tried us.archive but I got the same problem. How to use ppa from launchpad? — Hunsu, Mar 02 '14 at 16:27

As JohnnyD said, add ppa:openjdk/ppa repository and then update it.After that, you can be able to install openjdk-7-jdk directly from that repository,

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openjdk/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk

Edit :

sudo apt-get install aptitude && sudo aptitude install openjdk-7-jdk

and not choose to keep the current version of the conflicting packages.

I have tried that and got unmet dependencies error. openjdk-7-jdk : Dpends: openjdk-7-jre (= 7u51-2.4.4-0ubuntu0.13.10.1) but will not be installed – Hunsu Mar 02 '14 at 16:32
try sudo apt-get install -f.If the unmet dependencies are not cleared then post the output of sudo apt-get install -f in your question. – Avinash Raj Mar 02 '14 at 16:33
please try to choose different server(Best server) in software and updates.After choosing best server, update it by running sudo apt-get update then install openjdk. – Avinash Raj Mar 02 '14 at 16:40
I changed it to the main server but it doesn't work. – Hunsu Mar 02 '14 at 16:48
post the output of apt-cache policy openjdk-7-jdk – Avinash Raj Mar 02 '14 at 16:49
did you add the ppa? – Avinash Raj Mar 02 '14 at 16:58
yes I did it why? – Hunsu Mar 02 '14 at 17:01
follow rusty answer. – Avinash Raj Mar 02 '14 at 17:02
Yes I did the commands like you have said. I have noticed this error http://ppa.launchpad.net/openjdk/ppa/ubuntu/dists/saucy/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found – Hunsu Mar 02 '14 at 17:10
try this command sudo apt-get install aptitude && sudo aptitude install openjdk-7-jdk – Avinash Raj Mar 02 '14 at 17:14

OpenJdk's run-time environments and development is available under Ubuntu's Universe/Java section. Following are the steps to install:

If Universe repository in not allowed, allow it and update:

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) universe"
sudo apt-get update

Install Java Runtime Environment with:

sudo apt-get install --install-suggests openjdk-7-jre

Install Java Development Kit if you want to develop Java programs:
```
sudo apt-get install --install-suggests openjdk-7-jdk
```

_{Useful terminal shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+V can be used to paste copied text to terminal.}

It is enabled but it doesn't work. http://fr.tinypic.com/view.php?pic=hsv0a0&s=8#.UxNlRttWUQU – Hunsu Mar 02 '14 at 17:07
did you try sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre – rusty Mar 02 '14 at 17:10
Yes and I have this error openjdk-7-jre : Depends: openjdk-7-jre-headless (= 7u51-2.4.4-0ubuntu0.13.10.1) – Hunsu Mar 02 '14 at 17:12
please try with the switch --install-suggests; if that still doesn't fix, you could install openjdk-7-jre-headless and other dependents by hand with sudo apt-get – rusty Mar 02 '14 at 17:20

In Ubuntu Default Repository Every packages are too old than what we need, better we can download it from official sites and install it, me too faced several issue for installing openjdk for setting up video management server's while that time i got some points from Google after a long search i got this good solution and i have documented, you can go to oracle java

Download the 32bit or 64bit Linux "compressed binary file" - it has a ".tar.gz" file extension and uncompress it

Download JRE from Here

Download Java from here

Check the java version

# java -version

Create a Directory JVM if not available in the location

# sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/jvm

Move the download Java to the location

# sudo mv jdk-7u51-linux-x64.tar.gz /usr/lib/jvm

Navigate to the location

# cd /usr/lib/jvm

Extract the Java om the location

# sudo tar zxvf jdk-7u51-linux-x64.tar.gz

Delete the tar file if we need are keep it for backup

# sudo rm jdk-7u51-linux-x64.tar.gz

# ls -l

# jdk1.7.0_51

Set path for java

# sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javac" "javac" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_51/bin/javac" 3

# sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_51/bin/java" 3

# sudo update-alternatives --set "javac" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_51/bin/javac"

# sudo update-alternatives --set "java" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_51/bin/java"

Edit the profile file and Enter the java location

# sudo vi /etc/profile

Add the following entries to the bottom of your /etc/profile file:

# JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_51 PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin export JAVA_HOME export PATH

Run the Command to update the java to run

# . /etc/profile

Check the Version of java version using command

# java -version

I had a similar problem, during installation of eclipse. openjdk-7-jdk was required, and among packages to install, this was not found. I used

> sudo apt-get update
> sudo apt-get install eclipse eclipse-cdt

and it found openjdk. I do not mean that you install eclipse, of course, but this experience may be helpful.
