How do I install JRE without PPAs or anything but the tar.gz file I downloaded from: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp?locale=en

If there is a shell file inside, run that after unzipping, otherwise, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware for compiling the software so long as it is the source code.

That doesn't work. (or I don't know how to do it properly) There is no ReadMe file with commands to use, ./Configure doesn't do anything, neither does 'make'– XeroJun 28, 2014 at 8:31

looking at the instructions page, just follow those, they outline the procedure completely. If you want I can try and find a deb file if the other method isn't to your liking Jun 28, 2014 at 15:37

I installed JRE by following this : askubuntu.com/questions/56104/… It still does not work on Chrome though. Works on Firefox however.– XeroJun 29, 2014 at 9:19
