How to install JDK 10 under Ubuntu?
How do I install Java Development Kit (JDK) 10 on Ubuntu?
The installation instructions on Oracle's help center only explain how to download and extract the archive on Linux platform, without any system setup.
Solution 1:
Update: JDK 11 Now Available
sudo apt-get install openjdk-11-jdk
For JDK 10
Option 1: Easy Installation (PPA)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linuxuprising/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java10-installer
Then set as default with:
sudo apt-get install oracle-java10-set-default
And finally verify Installation with:
$ java -version
java version "10.0.1" 2018-04-17

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 18.3 (build 10.0.1+10, mixed mode)
Source: Linux Uprising
Option 2: Manual Installation
Download OpenJDK 10 binaries for Linux.
-
Untar the downloaded archive:
tar xzvf openjdk-10_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz -
Move the extracted archive to where your system keeps your installed JDKs:
sudo mv jdk-10 /usr/lib/jvm/java-10-openjdk-amd64/ -
Add the new Java alternative:
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/java-10-openjdk-amd64/bin/java 1 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/lib/jvm/java-10-openjdk-amd64/bin/javac 1 -
Update your system's java alternatives and choose JDK 10:
$ sudo update-alternatives --config java here are 3 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java). Selection Path Priority Status ------------------------------------------------------------ 0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-9-openjdk-amd64/bin/java 1091 auto mode * 1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-10-openjdk-amd64/bin/java 1 manual mode 2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java 1081 manual mode 3 /usr/lib/jvm/java-9-openjdk-amd64/bin/java 1091 manual mode Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number:and
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javac There are 3 choices for the alternative javac (providing /usr/bin/javac). Selection Path Priority Status ------------------------------------------------------------ * 0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-9-openjdk-amd64/bin/javac 1091 auto mode 1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-10-openjdk-amd64/bin/javac 1 manual mode 2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/bin/javac 1081 manual mode 3 /usr/lib/jvm/java-9-openjdk-amd64/bin/javac 1091 manual mode Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: 1 update-alternatives: using /usr/lib/jvm/java-10-openjdk-amd64/bin/javac to provide /usr/bin/javac (javac) in manual mode -
Verify your installation with:
$ java --version openjdk 10 2018-03-20 OpenJDK Runtime Environment 18.3 (build 10+46) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 18.3 (build 10+46, mixed mode)and
$ javac --version javac 10 Done
If you prefer Oracle's JDK, download it and follow the installation steps as shown above.
Solution 2:
I've found SdkMan! a very useful tool because it provides a convenient way for managing your JDKs from the shell.
For example, once it is installed, you can:
Install a specific JDK version: sdk install java 10.0.2-open
Downloading: java 10.0.2-open
In progress...
################# 12,3%
Use a specific JDK version: sdk use java 10.0.2-open
Using java version 10.0.2-open in this shell.
