sun-java6 package

i cannot install JAVA Runtime Environment

Asked by t-kasiws

I downloaded JRE from JAVA free download page (/home/t-kasiws/jre-6u7-linux-i586.bin), but I cannot install it
onto Ubuntu. Or, I should lsay I don't know how to install.

When I open "/home/t-kasiws/jre-6u7-linux-i586.bin",
screen of Totem movie player appears, but there is an error mark and words "Could not determine type of stream"

Please tell me how and what to do to make the installation.

You don't have to install Sun Java that way, just execute:-
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
in a terminal, that should install Sun Java JRE.

Mr. Pramod Dematagoda

Thank you very much for your advice. I tried it, however, I had the following
result which is not clear to me (E: パッケージ sun-java6-jre-6u7-linux-i586.bin が見つかりません - In English, package sun-java6-jre-6u7-linux-i586.bin not found ).

If you have further help or advice, please send it to me.
I appreciate your kind cooperation.

Maybe you have misunderstood Mr. Pramod Dematagoda.
He said that you just need type "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre" in your terminal, not "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre-6u7-linux-i586.bin".
Well, "sun-java6-jre" is the name of the package, while "sun-java6-jre-6u7-linux-i586.bin" is the name of the installer.
If you want to install jre with your ".bin" file, you may need to type "./sun-java6-jre-6u7-linux-i586.bin" in your terminal, but which is not recommended.
The best way to install jre is type EXACTLY the following line in your terminal, as Mr. Pramod Dematagoda said:
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
