JRE

JRE on 32-bit and 64-bit Debian / Ubuntu / Mint Linux operating systems.

End users looking for java to run software are looking for JRE. OpenJRE / OpenJDK is an alternative to Oracle Java that is the default on packaged linux systems such as Ubuntu / Kbuntu / Mint.

Are you 32 or 64 bit? Type: 

uname -m

Have you downloaded Oracle Java? as of TOR you could find it [ here ] and the file you need is/was called [ ]

Adjust any version numbers to accommodate your system, otherwise instructions assume currents as of TOR: typically OpenJDK version 7. To REMOVE OpenJDK and install Oracle Java JRE do the following.

1. remove OpenJDK 

sudo apt-get autoremove openjdk-7-jre

2. confirm complete removal (other instructions online do not accomplish this ie WikiHow) 

sudo java -version

You should see the error: No such file or directory <- that is good!

3. make a home 

sudo mkdir /usr/local/java

4.
