I have installed jdk1.8.0 manually from the oracle website.

I have followed the steps here on Digital Ocean.

When I executed java -version I got this result:-

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

A symbolic link java is present in /usr/bin/ which is linked to another symbolic link java present in /etc/alternatives/and this link points to /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0.

I have set environment variables:- PATH,JAVA_HOME in the files ~/.bashrc and /etc/profile. Still I am getting No such file or directory.

Actually I want to install hadoop and for this the first step is to install java. I am using Ubuntu 14.04

  • What is the output of 'update-alternatives --display java'? – willl459 Jun 09 '15 at 05:25
  • output:- java - auto mode link currently points to /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_45/bin/java /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_45/bin/java - priority 3 /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.8.0_45/bin/java - priority 2 Current 'best' version is '/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_45/bin/java'. – Adla Sutej Jun 09 '15 at 05:35
  • The instructions on that site suggest extracting the Java package into /opt/jdk and then creating a symbolic link from /usr/bin to it. Your output suggests you instead symbolic linked to /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_45 but no information on linked from where. Double check that the link and path provided to the update-alternatives command are /usr/bin/java and the extract location, respectively. The man page for update-alternatives is here. – willl459 Jun 09 '15 at 05:53
  • i have now extracted file into /opt/jdk and now the output of update-alternatives --display java command is :- java - auto mode link currently points to /opt/jdk/jdk1.8.0_45/bin/java /opt/jdk/jdk1.8.0_45/bin/java - priority 100 . still i am getting same error message on executing java- version /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.8.0_45/bin/java - priority 2 Current 'best' version is '/opt/jdk/jdk1.8.0_45/bin/java' – Adla Sutej Jun 09 '15 at 06:26
  • You will have to follow the guidance of Maythux below, it seems everything is extracted and linked properly so likely a missing dependency. – willl459 Jun 10 '15 at 19:05
  • Chances are you downloaded a 32 bit installation package. I found out this very late after spending the whole afternoon – bademba Apr 17 '21 at 16:43

This is because there are some 32-bit libraries missing in your Ubuntu 64-bit. Run:

apt-get install libc6-i386

you can refer to this Stack Overflow post for more information

I ran into a similar issue and got it solved by

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libc6-i386

If apt-get was not able to locate the libc-i386 package you may need to --add-architecture and run apt-get update.

Try installing OpenJDK 8:

sudo apt install openjdk-8-jre

It worked for me

idk but this worked for me on my parrot os

cd /usr/lib/jvm
ls

Alternatively you can search for the path using

locate java-8-openjdk-amd64

Note - in my case it's openjdk8 find your java version with

java -version
