Installing Java 7 on Ubuntu

Question

to install java I have always used the classic way from the terminal. I would like to install java manually. I placed the folder of the JDK on the desk and I set environment

Answer 1

PPA method no longer works.

While Oracle Java 6 and 7 are not supported for quite a while, they were still available for download on Oracle's website until recently.

However, the binaries were removed about 10 days ago (?), so the Oracle Java (JDK) 6 and 7 installers available in the WebUpd8 Oracle Java PPA no longer work.

Oracle Java 6 and 7 are now only available for those with an Oracle Support account (which is not free), so I can't support this for the PPA packages.

Oracle's download page says

Updates for Java SE 7 released after April 2015, and updates for Java SE 6 released after April 2013 are only available to Oracle Customers through My Oracle Support (requires support login).

Java SE Advanced offers users commercial features, access to critical bug fixes, security fixes, and general maintenance".

I had to download it from Oracle archives - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase7-521261.html

You need an account for this though.
