tiendv-1114 / JDK 1.6 Installation in Ubuntu
Created June 29, 2018 01:56 — forked from senthil245/JDK 1.6 Installation in Ubuntu
Step by step installation of JDK 1.6 in Ubuntu
Install Java JDK 6.0 update 31 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Introduction
The first question is why are we installing an old JDK. The answer is that Oracle JDK 6.0 update 31 is the JDK recommended by Cloudera when installing CDH4 (Cloudera Distribution Hadoop v4).
This is an update to an older version of this post. Mainly I have changed the JDK from 1.6.0_26 to 1.6.0_31 as this is the recommended JDK for CDH4 .
Install Java
I have a 64 bit version of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS installed, so the instructions below only apply to this OS.
