General :: How To Install Java - And Set The Path Variable
Oct 1, 2010
I have downloaded java and installed it with chmod +x and then ./bin package.
Hereunder is an output from CLI (putty)
I understand that the system knows the java is in a wrong place but if I do java -version it finds it correctly. I don't know and I don't understand how do I need to tell the OS that the java is somewhere else, I just did that with export java home and java path but still dosen't work, it keep tells when I do whereis java "java: /usr/share/java"
Here is another output:

I was changing my sudoers file to give permission of using "sudo" command to all root commands, asking for the password. It works, it's fine. The problem I'm having is with the variable PATH to my user, I think.
In terminal:
normal user:
Code:
ataias@ataias-notebook:~/Downloads$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
super user:
Code:
root@ataias-notebook:~# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin
As many commands are in /sbin/, root can use them without writing "/sbin/" but I can't do the same cause it's not in my path.
while root do this:
Code:
shutdown -h now
I should do:
Code:
sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now
and I want to use only
Code:
sudo shutdown -h now
I want to change my user's path variable to make it equal to root's path. how to change it? I don't know many things of shell still.

What steps have to be followed for having customized contents of PATH environment variable whenever new users are created? I require this in order to include a special directory into PATH variable; and this has to be a default one for all the newly created users.

I'm having a strange issue with the PATH variable when running the command 'sudo su'. When executing this command the PATH variable changes. No problems there, but it changes to:
Code:
Looking at this, there are two weird entries (//sbin and //bin) which should both start '/usr' instead. I'm not sure how I've managed to change this, or how a piece of software I'm using has done it (more likely it was me I expect), but could anyone suggest which file to look in to correct it? If it makes a difference the machine is running CentOS 5.

I am using CentOS5.5 & everytime it is showing command not found. If I export the path as below it will be working fine until a reboot. Again same error i.e command not found if I open new terminal. Every time I am exporting as below:
#export PATH=/sbin/:$PATH
#export PATH=/usr/sbin/:$PATH
#export PATH=/usr/bin/:$PATH
#export PATH=/bin/:$PATH
How can I set these permanently as that the paths should automatically be exported for everyone user whenever the system boots. And command completion also should happen for eg. #fdi (press tab), then it should show available options such as fdisk, etc.

Code:
and it does nothing so i tried
Code:

Now there are two issues

2) when i closed the terminal and opened it again the PATH I newly entered was not there !

I modified files in several directories, and need to run a diff on the backup I created before modifying the file.
I'm trying to compose a simple shell script to speed up the task, but getting a syntax error.
Here is what I have:
for i in DIR1 DIR2 DIR3 DIR4 DIR5 do;
diff /maindir/subdir/subdir/$i/filename.txt.old /maindir/subdir/subdir/$i/filename.txt;
done
I know the paths are valid, and if I run just the diff command with the actual DIR1 instead of $i it works.

I have a program that has a GUI which I have placed in /usr/local/bin however when I invoke the program I receive the following error:
Unable to find a supported JDK or JRE version. Version 1.3.1 or higher is required. Check your installation and use +javahome to specify the JDK or JRE location
I have since installed Java into the usr/local/ directory however I am now just totally Lost! Additionally, I believe that i have tried to install Java several times with no luck.
Questions:
1) Where should java be installed to have system wide access to all programs?
2) How can I place the Java location in my $PATH? here I am going to need very easy and detailed instructions?
3) Is there a way to ensure that the location where I intall java gets updates?

I didn't find this question in the FAQ or through the Search button.I added a server application and would like to update the PATH env't variable so that I don't have to type the full path for its binaries. I'd like to make sure I do it right: Do I just need to edit /etc/profile or is there another file somewhere in CentOS that I should use instead?

I have been trying to change my PATH environment variable to no avail. I am using Jessie i386 with MATE. Using my .bashrc file works but not well because with subshells the modifications get repeated. I want the change to occur on login.
I tried modifying ~/.profile ~/.bash_profile /etc/profile and /etc/environment and one or two others but in no case did my change get picked up even after logging out and in again and even after rebooting. I searched the Internet and found each of the above places to make the change but they don't seem to work with Jessie.
Where do I make the necessary change?

I want to add a path (/usr/sys) to the global $PATH. I will use this to test commands and scripts, which I don't want to be mixed up with regular commands. I've added the path to /etc/environment. When I start a terminal session under my user account, the path is included in the $PATH variable. However, when I start a root terminal, it is not. Is there a way to to change $PATH on one place where it will also affect the root terminal, or do I have to change it on 2 locations?

I'm trying to pass a path as a string to an array, but its evaluating it as a command instead. I want to take the literal string "/mnt/accounts/user/temp/*.jpg" and assign it to an array{1}, but when i echo the array variable, it displays it as
pic1.jpg
pic2.jpg
pic3.jpg
[code]....
I just want it to be the actual text "/mnt/accounts/user/temp/*.jpg" which i will be combining with other text to create a longer path elsewhere in the code.
