If there is a shell file inside, run that after unzipping, otherwise, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware for compiling the software so long as it is the source code.

  • That doesn't work. (or I don't know how to do it properly) There is no ReadMe file with commands to use, ./Configure doesn't do anything, neither does 'make' – Xero Jun 28 '14 at 08:31
  • I'll download it and see what exactly its comprised of – sbergeron Jun 28 '14 at 12:24
  • looking at the instructions page, just follow those, they outline the procedure completely. If you want I can try and find a deb file if the other method isn't to your liking – sbergeron Jun 28 '14 at 15:37
  • I installed it according to those instructions at /usr/java but I can't run Java apps on Chrome. (RuneScape) – Xero Jun 28 '14 at 18:02
  • I installed JRE by following this : http://askubuntu.com/questions/56104/how-can-i-install-sun-oracles-proprietary-java-jdk-6-7-8-or-jre/56119#56119 It still does not work on Chrome though. Works on Firefox however. – Xero Jun 29 '14 at 09:19
