How to install Jad?

Question

I'm very new to Ubuntu. I need a way to install Jad in my system.

Can anyone help me this out?

The JAD Java Decompiler is a handy tool for Java developers, both for academic use and for recovering your own code on those (hopefully) rare occasions when you lose the source but have the .class files.¹

To install it, you can download it Here. I recommend that you get the static binary.

It's a 32-bit binary, so you may also want to add the install ia32-libs if you get any problems...

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

Also move/copy it to something in the path, like /usr/local/bin, so you can run jad
