How to install JDK 11 under Ubuntu?
So Java 11 is out. Does anybody know how to install it (OpenJDK from Oracle) from the command line?
I would like to see something like it was before for Oracle Java 10:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linuxuprising/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java10-installer
P. S. In the similar question proposed instruction:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-11-jdk
doesn't work.
Solution 1:
Now it is possible to install openjdk-11 this way:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-11-jdk
(Previously it installed openjdk-10, but not anymore)
Solution 2:
To install Openjdk 11 in Ubuntu, the following commands worked well.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openjdk-r/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install openjdk-11-jdk
Solution 3:
For anyone running a JDK on Ubuntu and want to upgrade to JDK11, I'd recommend installing via sdkman. SDKMAN is a tool for switching JVMs, removing and upgrading.
SDKMAN is a tool for managing parallel versions of multiple Software Development Kits on most Unix based systems. It provides a convenient Command Line Interface (CLI) and API for installing, switching, removing and listing Candidates.
Install SDKMAN
$ curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io" | bash
$ source "$HOME/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh"
$ sdk version
Install Java (11.0.3-zulu)
$ sdk install java
Solution 4:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-11-jdk
after this, try
java -version
to make sure java version is 1.11.x, if found old one or different, check below command to see the available jdks,
update-java-alternatives --list
you should see something like below,
java-1.11.0-openjdk-amd64 1111 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.11.0-openjdk-amd64
java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64 1081 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64
you can see java 1.11 available from above list, use below command to set java 11 to default,
sudo update-alternatives --config java
for above command, you will get something like below and also, will ask for an option to set,
There are 3 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).
Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/java 1111 auto mode
1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/java 1111 manual mode
*2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java 1081 manual mode
3 /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_211/bin/java 0 manual mode
Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number:
you can select desired selection number, my case it's 0
for javac,
sudo update-alternatives --config javac
will result something like below,
There are 3 choices for the alternative javac (providing /usr/bin/javac).
Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/javac 1111 auto mode
1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/javac 1111 manual mode
*2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/bin/javac 1081 manual mode
3 /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_211/bin/javac 0 manual mode
Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number:
in my case, it's 0 again
after above steps, try
java -version
it will display something like below,
openjdk version "11.0.4" 2019-07-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build
11.0.4+11-post-Ubuntu-1ubuntu218.04.3)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.4+11-post-Ubuntu-1ubuntu218.04.3, mixed > mode, sharing)
Solution 5:
In Ubuntu, you can simply install Open JDK by following commands.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install default-jdk
You can check the java version by following the command.
java -version
If you want to install Oracle JDK 8 follow the below commands.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
If you want to switch java versions you can try below methods.
vi ~/.bashrc and add the following line export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_221 (path/jdk folder)
or
sudo vi /etc/profile and add the following lines
#JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_221
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export JAVA_HOME
export JRE_HOME
export PATH
You can comment on the other version. This needs to sign out and sign back in to use. If you want to try it on the go you can type the below command in the same terminal. It'll only update the java version for a particular terminal.
source /etc/profile
You can always check the java version by java -version command.
