How do I install JDK 17 on my AWS AMI Ec2 instance?

I need to install JDK 17 on my AWS EC2 AMI instance.

Is there any command? Any answers would be appreciated!

Solution

  • Install with package managers:

    deb-based distros (such as Debian or Ubuntu)

    # Download deb package from https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/
# And then
sudo dpkg -i jdk-17_linux-x64_bin.deb

    rpm-based distros (such as RHEL or CentOS)

    # Download rpm package from https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/
# And then
sudo rpm -i jdk-17_linux-x64_bin.rpm

    Any distro without or with differrent package manager

    Download x64 Compressed tar.gz Archive from https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/

    Create jvm directory

    sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/jvm

    Change to the directory.

    cd /usr/lib/jvm

    Extract jdk-17_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz to that directory.

    ~/Downloads/ - is a directory where archive is saved. If your downloaded file is in any other location, change the command according to your path.

    sudo tar -xvzf ~/Downloads/jdk-17_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz

    Enter the following command to open the environment variables file.

    sudo ${EDITOR} /etc/environment

    Edit your ${PATH}

    # Add this to the $PATH variable
/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-17/bin

    Add the following environment variables at the end of the file.

    JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-17"

    Inform the system about the Java's location.

    sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-17/bin/java" 0
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javac" "javac" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-17/bin/javac" 0
sudo update-alternatives --set java /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-17/bin/java
sudo update-alternatives --set javac /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-17/bin/javac

    To check version:

    java -version
