Where can I find the Java SDK in Linux after installing it?

Question

I installed JDK using apt-get install but I don\'t know where my jdk folder is. I need to set the path for that. Does any one have a clue on the location?

Answer 1

Use find to located it. It should be under /usr somewhere:

find /usr -name java

When running the command, if there are too many "Permission denied" message obfuscating the actual found results then, simply redirect stderr to /dev/null

find /usr -name java 2> /dev/null
