I have downloaded a .bin file for JDK and am trying to install it. I have used these commands:

chmod +x jdk-6u23-linux-i586.bin
sudo ./jdk-6u23-linux-i586.bin

and got this output:

sudo: ./jdk-6u23-linux-i586.bin: command not found

  • thinking there's a typo in your command or a permissions error. it works for me with similar commands. it could also be some sudo weirdness. I ALWAYS use a rootshell instead of sudo. Jan 14, 2011 at 19:35
  • That error can also be shown when you try to execute a 32bits binary on a 64 bits system. Jan 14, 2011 at 20:08
  • @aking1012, sudo -s do the same thing. Nov 28, 2011 at 12:29
  • @ThorbjørnRavnAndersen - thanks for the heads up. good to know. Nov 30, 2011 at 14:06

To install Netbeans, you can simply install the netbeans package. This will install everything Netbeans needs, including Java.

sudo apt-get install netbeans

To install Java, but without installing Netbeans

If you want the proprietary version of Java, you need to:

To install these packages, use the Software Centre, which is available from the Applications menu.

Netbeans is available from the Ubuntu software Center, you should install from there unless you have a strong reason to use a different version.

In future use these 2 scripts I wrote :D...

Java before Netbeans...

#!/bin/sh

#Delete the line below if you only want the "open" JDK & JRE
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk openjdk-7-jre;

#Makes the /usr/lib/jvm in case...
sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/jvm

#Clean out /tmp...
sudo rm -rf /tmp/*
cd /tmp

#Update this line to reflect newer versions of JDK...
wget http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u1-b08/jdk-7u1-linux-i586.tar.gz;
tar -xvf ./*gz;

#Move it to where it can be found...
sudo mv /tmp/jdk1.7.* /usr/lib/jvm/;

#Add the new Java to the bin 
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_01/jre/bin/java 3;

#User chooses
sudo update-alternatives --config java;

exit 0;

Netbeans...

# @author Yucca Nel
# Update as needed for newer Netbeans releases :D

#!/bin/sh

#Clean out /tmp...
sudo rm -rf /tmp/*;
cd /tmp;

#Update this line to reflect newer versions of Netbeans or replace 'javase with 'javaee' or add jee manually via
#Netbeans 'plugins as needed.
wget http://download.netbeans.org/netbeans/7.0.1/final/bundles/netbeans-7.0.1-ml-javase-linux.sh;
sh /tmp/*sh;

#Add Netbeans launcher to your PATH. Doing so allows you to run 'netbeans' command from the terminal
sudo ln -s ~/netbeans-7.0.1/bin/netbeans /usr/local/bin/;

exit 0;

Thank you for your help, but I solved my own problem.

When I installed Ubuntu and I installed OpenJDK. I was trying to install the Sun JDK, which led to the error.

I resolved the problem by uninstalling OpenJDK, restarting the machine, and then extracting the file mentioned above. It was successfully extracted and NetBeans easily found the JDK path.

Now I'm enjoying Java Development with NetBeans.
