How to install Java in Pop!_Os

Java is a programming language that is widely used in the development of software applications, particularly for web and mobile platforms. Pop!_OS, on the other hand, is a Linux distribution that is based on Ubuntu and is designed to be user-friendly for developers and power users.

Java can be used on Pop!_OS, just like any other operating system. You can install the Java Development Kit (JDK) on Pop!_OS, which includes the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and other tools necessary for Java development. There are also several integrated development environments (IDEs) available for Java development on Pop!_OS, such as Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, and NetBeans.

To install Java on Pop!_OS using apt, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard.

  2. Update the package list by running the following command:

sudo apt update
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  1. Install the default-jdk package, which includes the Java Development Kit, by running the following command:
sudo apt install default-jdk
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  1. This command will only install the default JRE – Java Runtime Environment from OpenJDK 11. To install the default JDK – Java Development Kit from OpenJDK 11, you will need to enter another command:
sudo apt install default-jdk
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Verify that Java is installed correctly by checking the version number. You can do this by running the following command:

java -version
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

java -version

This should output information about the version of Java that is installed on your system. Congrats!.
