    How to install Java?

    Hey guys & Hellnoire!

    This is my first problem regarding Linux, how to install java to play java contents.

    I was redirected here: http://www.java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en&host=www.java.com:80

    I downloaded the "Linux (self-extracting file)" from the link above...
    From there on, I don't know how to 'install' it and yes I was aware that there were instructions on the side. However, I don't even know what they mean on the first step.

    Thanks!
    -NCU

    EDIT
    : I forgot to mention, I'm running Ubuntu on a Virtual Machine. Thanks again

    If you're running Ubuntu,
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin
    and assuming you might have installed iced-tea or it was installed by default, run
    Code:
    sudo update-alternatives --config java
    and make it point to the sun-java6-jre

    I apologize that this is the only time I can thank you.
    It's due to the fact that we have exams coming up (next week).
    It's really kept me busy and a bit pressured about.

    THANKS AGAIN!
