When I needed a firewall someone just gave me a code thing that I copied in the terminal thing and it was installed automatically. Is there a code like that for installing Java? Yahoo games and some other sites say that I need to install that and when i go to the Java website it doesn’t install.

  Open a terminal and run this command:

  sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre sun-java5-plugin sun-java5-fonts

  Providing you have universe and multiverse repo’s enabled.

  After which test your install with:

  java -version

  You should get some java output similar to this:

  java version “1.5.0_08″
  Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_08-b03)
  Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_08-b03, mixed mode, sharing)
