I am having difficulties installing the JDK in Ubuntu, I can’t manage to make

  • 0

I am having difficulties installing the JDK in Ubuntu, I can’t manage to make it work. Could somebody let me know what I am doing wrong?

1- I Downloaded jdk-6u35-linux-i586.bin from oracle’s web site

2- I moved the downloaded file to home/

3- I transformed it into an executable using chmod +x jdk-6u35-linux-i586.bin

4- I executed it using sudo ./jdk1.6.0_35

5- I moved the folder with the jdk to /usr/local using
mv jdk1.6.0_35/ /usr/local/

6- I opened the .bashrc with the "kate" editor and i added the following lines(This file was completely empty by the way)

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.6.0_35/

export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

7- I typed java -version but didn’t work. This is what the console displays

    .bashrc is run when you start Bash, so your changes to it won’t take effect within the same session. Try opening a new window and running your command.
