Overview of JDK Installation

The type of installation depends on your requirement and the platform that you choose to

install.

Installation Requirements and Related Tasks

To develop or run Java applications, download and install JDK.

Version-String Format

To understand the version-string scheme that is used to distinguish various JDK releases,

see Version-String Format.

Installation

The JDK can be installed on the following platforms:

• Microsoft Windows

• Linux

• macOS

You can download the JDK from Java SE Development Kit Downloads page.

For supported processors and browsers, see Oracle JDK Certified System Configurations.

The JDK documentation is a separate download. See Java SE Documentation.

Microsoft Windows

Installation of the JDK on Microsoft Windows Platforms: Instructions include steps to install

the JDK on 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating systems.

Linux

Installation of the JDK on Linux Platforms: Instructions include installation from Archive files,

Downloadable RPM Package Files, and RPM Packages from Oracle Linux Repositories.

macOS

Installation of the JDK on macOS: Instructions include steps to install the JDK on the macOS

platform.

Directory Structure

To learn about the files and directories that are created after JDK installation, see Installed

Directory Structure of JDK .

1-1

Version-String Format

Java SE platform has adopted time-based release model with the JDK being released every

six months.

As of JDK 10 and later, the format of the version string, which reflects the Java SE platform's

time-based release model, is

$FEATURE.$INTERIM.$UPDATE.$PATCH

•

$FEATURE

is the version number that is incremented for every feature release. The feature

release contains new features and changes to the existing features as specified by the

Java SE platform specification. The version number is incremented every six months. For

example, the version number for the March 2018 release is 10, the version number for

the September 2018 release is 11, and so on.

•

$INTERIM

is the version number that is incremented for every interim release, which

contains bug fixes and enhancements. An interim release does not contain incompatible

changes, feature removals, nor any changes to the standard APIs. The version number

for the interim release is always zero (0) as the six-month release model does not include

interim releases. However, this version number is reserved for future interim releases, if

any.

•

$UPDATE

is the version number that is incremented for an update release, which includes

fixes for security issues, regressions, and bugs in new features. The version number is

incremented one month after the

$FEATURE

release and every three months thereafter.

For example, the full version string for the October update release is 22.0.1, the full

version string for the January update release is 22.0.2, and so on.

•

$PATCH

is the version number that is incremented for an emergency patch release to fix a

critical issue.

The version string doesn't have trailing zero elements. For example, if the value of

$FEATURE

is 22, the value of

$INTERIM

is 0, the value of

$UPDATE

is 1, and the value of

$PATCH

is 0, then

the full version string is 22.0.1.

Installation of the JDK on Linux Platforms

This topic describes the installation procedures of the JDK on the Linux platform, along with

the system requirements.

This topic includes the following sections:

• General Notes About Installing the JDK on Linux Platforms from Archive Files

• General Notes About Installing the JDK on Linux Platforms from RPM packages

• System Requirements for Installing JDK on Linux Platforms

• Installing the JDK on Linux from Archive Files, Debian Packages, RPM Packages, and

Oracle Linux Repositories

General Notes About Installing the JDK on Linux Platforms from

Archive Files

This topic describes general information about installing JDK 22 on Linux platforms.

Installing the JDK automatically creates a directory called

jdk–

feature.interim.update.patch

where

feature (22),interim, update,

and

patch

represent corresponding values of version information.

Root Access

If you install JDK in a specific location such as

/opt

, you must log in with root credentials to

gain the necessary permissions. If you do not have the root access, either install the JDK in

your home directory or a sub directory for which you have the write permissions.

Overwriting Files

If you install the software in a directory that contains a sub directory named

jdk–

22.interim.update.patch

, the new software overwrites files of the same name in that

directory. Ensure that you rename the old directory if it contains files that you would like to

keep.

System Preferences

Installing the JDK from archive files doesn't configure the backing store for the system node

of Java Preferences API (

java.util.prefs

Java package). If this functionality of the JDK is

required, you need to manually configure it by making sure either

/etc/.java/.systemPrefs

jdk–22.interim.update.patch/.systemPrefs

directory exists.

General Notes About Installing the JDK on Linux Platforms from

RPM packages

This topic describes general information about installing JDK 22 from RPM packages on

Linux platforms.

3-1

You can install only one version of JDK of the same feature release. If you try to install

the newer version of the same feature release while the older version exists, the

installer uninstalls the older version and installs the new version. For example, you

can't install

jdk-22

and

jdk-22.0.1

simultaneously. If you attempt to install

jdk-22.0.1

after

jdk-22

is installed, the installer uninstalls

jdk-22

and installs

jdk-22.0.1

All versions of JDK of the same feature release are installed in

/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-22-

oracle-<ARCH>

directory, where

<ARCH>

equals

x64

aarch64

. Additionally

/usr/

java/jdk-22

symbolic link pointing to the installation directory is created for backward

compatibility.

Note:

If you install an older version of a JDK when the newer version of the same

feature family already exists, an error is displayed, prompting you to uninstall

a newer JDK version if an older version has to be installed.

Root Access

You must log in with root credentials to install or update JDK.

System Preferences

By default, the installation script configures the system such that the backing store for

the system node of Java Preferences API (java.util.prefs Java package) is configured

/etc/.java/.systemPrefs

directory.

System Integration

The JDK installation is integrated with the alternatives framework. After installation, the

alternatives framework is updated to reflect the binaries from the recently installed

JDK. Java commands such as

java

javac

javadoc

, and

javap

can be called from the

command line.

Using the

java -version

command, you can confirm the default (recently installed)

JDK version.

In addition, you can check which specific RPM package provides the

java

files:

$ rpm -q --whatprovides java

System Requirements for Installing JDK on Linux Platforms

See Oracle JDK Certified Systems Configurations for information about supported

platforms, operating systems, and browsers.

System Requirements for Installing JDK on Linux Platforms

3-2

Installing the JDK on Linux from Archive Files, Debian

Packages, RPM Packages, and Oracle Linux Repositories

You can install the JDK on a Linux platform from archive files, debian packages,

downloadable Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) packages files, or RPM packages from

Oracle Linux (OL) repositories.

Installation can be performed by using one of the following processes:

• From archive files (

.tar.gz

): This allows you to install a private version of the JDK for

the current user into any location, without affecting other JDK installations. However, it

may involve manual steps to get some of the features to work. See the following table for

the options available for downloading and installing the JDK from archive files. The

bundles are available for Linux x64 and Linux aarch64 (64-bit ARM) systems. Install the

required bundle.

• From Debian packages (

.deb

): This allows you to perform a system-wide JDK

installation on Debian-based Linux platforms, and requires root access.

• From downloadable RPM packages (

.rpm

): This allows you to perform a system-wide

JDK installation on RPM-based Linux platforms for all users, and requires root access.

See the following table for the options available for downloading and installing the JDK

from Linux x64 and Linux aarch64 (64-bit ARM) RPM packages.

• From Oracle Linux repositories: This allows you to perform a system-wide JDK

installation on OL platforms starting from OL7 for all users, and requires root access. JDK

RPM packages in Oracle Linux RPM repositories are available for x64 and aarch64 (64-

bit ARM) OL platforms. Explicit download of JDK RPM packages is not required, the

package manager will do it automatically for you.

JDK RPM packages for Generic Linux platforms and Oracle Linux platforms differ. The

following table lists the differences:

Installing the 64-Bit JDK on Linux Platforms

You can install the JDK for 64-bit Linux from an archive file (

.tar.gz

). The

.tar.gz

archive

file (also called a tarball) is a file that can be uncompressed and extracted in a single step.

To install the 64-bit JDK on a Linux platform:

1. Download the required file:

• For Linux x64 systems:

jdk-22.interim.update.patch_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz

. For

example

jdk-22_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz

• For Linux aarch64 (64-bit ARM) systems:

jdk-22.interim.update.patch_linux-

aarch64_bin.tar.gz

. For example,

jdk-22_linux-aarch64_bin.tar.gz

Before you download a file, you must accept the license agreement. Anyone (not only

root users) can install the archive file in any location having write access.

2. Change the directory to the location where you want to install the JDK, then move

the

.tar.gz

archive file to the current directory.

3. Unpack the tarball and install the downloaded JDK:

$ tar zxvf jdk-22_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz

$ tar zxvf jdk-22_linux-aarch64_bin.tar.gz

The Java Development Kit files are installed in a directory named

jdk-22.interim.update.patch

4. Delete the

.tar.gz

file if you want to save disk space.

Installing the 64-Bit JDK Package on Debian-based Linux Platforms

You can install the JDK Debian package for 64-bit Linux from the (

.deb

) file.

To install the 64-bit JDK Debian package on a Linux platform:

Chapter 3

Installing the JDK on Linux from Archive Files, Debian Packages, RPM Packages, and Oracle Linux Repositories

3-5

1. Download the required file:

jdk-22.interim.update.patch_linux-x64_bin.deb

. For example

jdk-22_linux-

x64_bin.deb

Before you download a file, you must accept the license agreement. Anyone (not

only root users) can install the archive file in any location having write access.

2. Install the package using the following command:

$ sudo dpkg -i jdk-22_linux-x64_bin.deb

The Java Development Kit files are installed into

/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-<FEATURE>-

oracle-<ARCH>

directory. For example, JDK 22 releases for x64 will be installed

/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-22-oracle-x64

directory.

3. Delete the

.deb

file if you want to save disk space.

Installing the 64-Bit JDK on RPM-Based Linux Platforms

You can install the JDK on 64-bit RPM-based Linux platforms, such as Red Hat and

SuSE by using a downloadable RPM package file (

.rpm

) in the system location.

Note:

You can install the JDK using a downloadable RPM package file on an OL

system too, but the preferred way to install the JDK on OL systems is from

Oracle Linux RPM repositories.

Ensure that you have the root user access. You can do this by running the command

and entering the superuser password.

To install the 64-bit JDK on an RPM-based Linux platform:

1. Download the required file:

• For x64 systems:

jdk-22.interim.update.patch_linux-x64_bin.rpm

. For

example,

jdk-22_linux-x64_bin.rpm

• For aarch64 (64-bit ARM) systems:

jdk-22.interim.update.patch_linux-

aarch64_bin.rpm

. For example,

jdk-22_linux-aarch64_bin.rpm

Before you download a file, you must accept the license agreement.

2. Install the required package using the following command:

$ sudo rpm -ivh jdk-22_linux-x64_bin.rpm

$ sudo rpm -ivh jdk-22_linux-aarch64_bin.rpm

Upgrade the required package using the following command:

$ sudo rpm -Uvh jdk-22_linux-x64_bin.rpm

$ sudo rpm -Uvh jdk-22_linux-aarch64_bin.rpm

Chapter 3

Installing the JDK on Linux from Archive Files, Debian Packages, RPM Packages, and Oracle Linux Repositories

3-6

Note:

JDK 22 can coexist with other feature releases of JDK. For each feature

release, a separate directory is created, the default directory

being

/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-<FEATURE>-oracle-<ARCH>

. For example, JDK 22

releases for x64 will be installed in

/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-22-oracle-x64

directory.

3. Delete the

.rpm

file if you want to save disk space.

It is not required to reboot.

Installing the 64-Bit JDK on Oracle Linux Platforms

There are two OL-specific JDK RPM packages,

jdk-22-headless

and

jdk-22-headful

When these packages are installed together, they provide full JDK functionality.

Install

jdk-22-headless

package if you only need headless Java Runtime for running non-

GUI applications.

Install

jdk-22-headful

package if you need full JDK functionality for running any Java

application and development.

Note:

The

jdk-22-headful

package depends on

jdk-22-headless

, hence installing

jdk-22-headful

package will result in the automatic installation of

jdk-22-

headless

, if it is not installed yet.

To install the 64-bit JDK headless on an Oracle Linux platform use either

dnf

yum

command:

sudo dnf install jdk-22-headless

sudo yum install jdk-22-headless

To install the 64-bit JDK headful on an Oracle Linux platform use the following command:

sudo dnf install jdk-22-headful

sudo yum install jdk-22-headful

• Installation FAQ for macOS

System Requirements for Installing the JDK on macOS

For supported processors and browsers, see Oracle JDK Certified Systems Configurations.

JDK Installation Instruction Notation for macOS

JDK installers now support only one version of any Java feature release. You can't install

multiple versions of the same feature release.

For example, you can't install

jdk-22

and

jdk-22.0.1

simultaneously. If you attempt to install

jdk-22.0.1

after

jdk-22

is installed, the installer uninstalls

jdk-22

and installs

jdk-22.0.1

Note:

If you install an older version of a JDK when the newer version of the same feature

family already exists, an error is displayed, prompting you to uninstall a newer JDK

version if an older version has to be installed.

JDK is installed in

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-<FEATURE>.jdk

where

is the feature release number. For example, JDK 22.0.1 is installed in

/Library/

Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-22.jdk

macOS x64 systems:

•

jdk-<FEATURE>_macos-x64_bin.dmg

•

jdk-<FEATURE>_macos-x64_bin.tar.gz

4-1

This string becomes:

jdk-22_macos-x64_bin.dmg

jdk-22_macos-x64_bin.tar.gz

macOS aarch64 (64-bit ARM) systems:

•

jdk-<FEATURE>_macos-aarch64_bin.dmg

•

jdk-<FEATURE>_macos-aarch64_bin.tar.gz

This string becomes:

jdk-22_macos-aarch64_bin.dmg

jdk-22_macos-aarch64_bin.tar.gz

Determining the Default JDK Version on macOS

When starting a Java application through the command line, the system uses the

default JDK.

There can be multiple JDKs installed on the macOS system.

You can determine which version of the JDK is the default by entering

java -version

in a Terminal window. If the installed version is 22 Interim 0, Update 0, and Patch 0,

then you see a string that includes the text

. For example:

$ java -version

java version "22"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 22)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.2-b04, mixed mode)

To run a different version of Java, either specify the full path, or use the

java_home

tool. For example:

$ /usr/libexec/java_home -v 22 --exec javac -version

Installing the JDK on macOS

To install the JDK on macOS:

1. Download the required JDK

.dmg

or file from

.tar.gz

page:

• macOS x64 systems:

jdk-<FEATURE>_macos-x64_bin.dmg

jdk-

<FEATURE>_macos-x64_bin.tar.gz

After the software is installed, you can delete the

.dmg

.tar.gz

file if you want to save disk

space.

Uninstalling the JDK on macOS

To uninstall the JDK on macOS:

You must have Administrator privileges.

Note:

Do not attempt to uninstall Java by removing the Java tools from

/usr/bin

. This

directory is part of the system software and any changes will be reset by Apple the

next time that you perform an update of the OS.

1. Go to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines.

2. Remove the directory whose name matches the following format by executing the

command as a root user or by using the

sudo

tool:

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-22.interim.update.patch.jdk

For example, to uninstall 22 Interim 0 Update 0 Patch 0:

$ rm -rf jdk-22.jdk

Installation FAQ for macOS

This topic provides answers for the following frequently asked questions about installing JDK

on macOS computers.

Chapter 4

Uninstalling the JDK on macOS

4-3

1. How do I find out which version of Java is the system default?

When you run a Java application from the command line, it uses the default JDK. If

you do not develop Java applications, then you do not need to worry about this. See

Determining the Default JDK Version on macOS.

2. How do I uninstall Java?

See Uninstalling the JDK on macOS.

3. After installing Java for macOS 2012-006, can I continue to use Apple's Java 6

alongside the macOS JDK for Java 22?

If you want to continue to develop with Java 6 using command-line, then you can

modify the startup script for your favorite command environment. For bash, use this:

$ export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 22`

Some applications use

/usr/bin/java

to call Java. After installing Java for macOS

2012-006,

/usr/bin/java

will find the newest JDK installed, and will use that for all of

the Java-related command-line tools in

/usr/bin

. You may need to modify those

applications to find Java 6, or contact the developer for a newer version of the

application.

4. What happened to the Java Preferences app in Application Utilities?

The Java Preferences app was part of the Apple Java installation and is not used by

Oracle Java. Therefore, macOS releases from Apple that do not include Apple Java

will not include Java Preferences.

JDK Installation Instructions for Windows

You run a self-installing executable file to unpack and install the JDK on Windows computers.

Install JDK on Windows computers by performing the actions described in the following

topics:

5-1

• Downloading the JDK Installer

• Installing the JDK from the JDK .exe Installer

• Installing the JDK from the MSI Enterprise Installer

• Installing the JDK Silently

Downloading the JDK Installer

Access the Java SE Downloads page and click Accept License Agreement. Under

the Download menu, click the Download link that corresponds to the

.exe

for your

version of Windows.

Download the file

jdk-22.interim.update.patch_windows-x64_bin.exe

Note:

Verify the successful completion of file download by comparing the file size

on the download page and your local drive. Alternatively, you can ensure that

the downloaded file's checksum matches the one provided on the Java SE

Downloads page.

Installing the JDK from the JDK .exe Installer

You must have administrator privileges to install the JDK on Microsoft Windows.

To run the JDK installer:

1. Start the JDK 22 installer by double-clicking the installer's icon or file name in the

download location.

2. Follow the instructions provided by the installer.

3. After the installation is complete, delete the downloaded file to recover disk space.

Note:

During installation, the following files are copied to your computer:

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath\java.exe"

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath\javaw.exe"

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath\javac.exe"

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath\jshell.exe"

Alternatively, you can run these executables directly from the JDK's

bin

directory.

Installing the JDK from the MSI Enterprise Installer

The JDK MSI Enterprise Installer is packaged as an

.msi

installer and runs with minimal

dialogs. It supports silent installation of the JDK and is customizable using command line

parameters.

You must have administrative permissions install JDK 22.

1. Download

jdk-22_windows-x64_bin.msi

from the Java SE Downloads page.

2. Double click the

.msi

file to run the installer.

Installing the JDK from the Command Line

You can install the JDK by downloading the appropriate Oracle JDK MSI Enterprise Installer

for your system and running it from the command line.

1. Download

jdk-22_windows-x64_bin.msi

2. Open an MS-DOS prompt with Administrative permissions.

3. Run one of the following commands depending on the type of installation that you want to

perform:

• Basic UI mode:

msiexec.exe /i jdk-22_windows-x64_bin.msi

• Silent mode:

msiexec.exe jdk-22_windows-x64_bin.msi /qn

Creating a Log File

You can use a log file to verify that an installation succeeded.

To create a log file describing the installation, append

/L C:\path\setup.log

to the install

command and scroll to the end of the log file to verify.

The following is an example of creating a log file:

msiexec.exe /i installer.msi /L C:\path\setup.log

In this example, the log is written to the C:\path\setup.log file.

Installing the JDK Silently

Instead of double-clicking or opening the JDK installer, you can perform a silent, non-

interactive, JDK installation by using command-line arguments.

Install JDK in silent mode using the command:

jdk.exe /s

• The notation jdk stands for the downloaded installer file base name, such

jdk-22_windows-x64_bin.exe

• You don't need to run the

ADDLOCAL

command as everything is installed

by default.
