2. When the file is downloaded open a Rox-filer window and go to the place where you downloaded Java. First, Right-click on the file and select Permissions and Yes to make the file executable. Second, Right-click > Window > Terminal Here.
3. In the terminal enter
Code:
./jre-6uXX-linux-i586.bin
Do not forget the "./" to begin (that is period – forward slash, to indicate that the file is found in the current directory). You will need to scroll down with the Enter key to accept the license agreement and then the install program will create a folder named something like jre-1.6.0_XX.
