Java jre for linux 64 bit
Do you want to run Java programs, or do you want to develop Java programs? If you want to run Java programs, but not develop them, download the Java Runtime Environment, or JRE.
If you want to develop applications for Java, download the Java Development Kit, or JDK. The JDK includes the JRE, so you do not have to download both separately.
Which platform do you use? We support the following:
If you use an Apple product, such as a Macbook, please see the Apple Developer Connection to download the Java platform for your system.
Solaris Operating System
From the following table, select the instructions corresponding to your version of the Java release.
In order to run Java applets within a browser, you must install the JRE plugin manually. Instructions for that process are available here:
Microsoft Windows
From the following table, select the instructions corresponding to your version of the Java release.
For most people, the installation instructions in the previous table are all that you need. The following advanced options, available only on Microsoft Windows, are also available.
- As of Java SE 6 Update 10, the release may be installed in one of two configurations: patch-in-place or static. For more information, see Java Runtime Environment Configuration.
- To quietly install the Java platform behind the scenes, and for information on other install options, see JRE Installer Options.
- When you need a quicker installation, the kernel installation is an option. In this scenario, a small set of core functionality is initially downloaded. For more information.
- The Windows releases of Java Plug-in and Java Web Start support the ability to automatically download a particular version of the JRE. In this scenario, when the user launches a program using one of these mechanisms, the correct version of the JRE is installed behind the scenes, as needed. For more information, and for a list of available .cab files, see Autodownload Files.
Linux
Some Linux platforms, such as Red Hat and SuSE, are RPM-based, which provide an automated way to install software. Some Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, are not RPM-based. For these Linux systems, you must manually install the Java platform by using a self-extracting binary file.
From the following table, select the instructions corresponding to your version of the Java release.
In order to run Java applets within a browser, you must install the JRE plugin manually. Instructions for that process are available here:

Java SE subscribers will receive JDK 8 updates until at least December 2030.
The Oracle JDK 8 license changed in April 2019
The Oracle Technology Network License Agreement for Oracle Java SE is substantially different from prior Oracle JDK 8 licenses. This license permits certain uses, such as personal use and development use, at no cost — but other uses authorized under prior Oracle JDK licenses may no longer be available. Please review the terms carefully before downloading and using this product. FAQs are available here.
Commercial license and support are available for a low cost with Java SE Universal Subscription.

Release information
Install the Java Runtime Environment
The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is required to run Java programs. Nowadays there are many JRE packages available from a variety of projects and companies, but the two most popular on Ubuntu are OpenJDK and Oracle HotSpot. Using one package over the other should not create any functional difference in most applications; however, some prefer OpenJDK over Oracle HotSpot as the former does not contain closed-source components, has a much clearer licensing and support policy, and is maintained as part of the Ubuntu archive, with easier installation and upgrades.
In this guide, we’ll be going through the installation of both JRE packages. Of course, you generally only need to pick the one that best suits your needs and preferences.
What you’ll learn
What you’ll need
That’s all you need. If you have that, let’s proceed to the next step!
2. Installing OpenJDK JRE
With new versions of Java released every 6 months, there are multiple versions available for use. Nowadays, Java 11 is the current Long Term Support (LTS) version, but Java 8 is still widely used. Moreover, the non LTS versions of Java are bringing a steady stream of innovation into the language, and also see some adoption.
Ubuntu offers the default-jre package, which is regularly updated to ship the latest version of the current OpenJDK JRE in Long Term Support (LTS). The default-jre is an excellent choice for most situations, thanks to the outstanding track of backwards compatibility of the Java Virtual Machine.
(Alternatively, you may opt to use a specific Java version, using for example the openjdk-11-jre package; as updates are released for that version of the Java Virtual Machine, that packages will be updated, allowing you to stick to the latest and greatest update of one specific version of the Java language.)
To install the OpenJDK JRE, we run:
sudo apt install default-jre
We can check if OpenJDK JRE was properly installed by running:
It should output the following:
openjdk version "11.0.11" 2021-04-20 OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.11+9-Ubuntu-0ubuntu2) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.11+9-Ubuntu-0ubuntu2, mixed mode)
(Although the output may change in the future as new Java versions are promoted to LTS status, or the current LTS version receives updates.)
In the next step we’ll install Oracle HotSpot JRE.
3. Installing Oracle HotSpot JRE
Downloading the Oracle HotSpot JRE binaries
Download JRE binaries in .tar.gz (tarball) by heading over to their website. An Oracle account is needed to download the Oracle HotSpot JRE.
Oracle does not currently offer JRE packages for Java 11 or above from their website so, for this tutorial, we will use the Oracle HotSpot JRE version to be 8u291 (Java 8, update 291).
Installing
Create a directory to install JRE in with:
Move the JRE binaries into the directory:
sudo mv jre-8u291-linux-x64.tar.gz /usr/local/java
Go into the install directory:
sudo tar zxvf jre-8u291-linux-x64.tar.gz
Post-installation steps
To save space, delete the tarball by running:
sudo rm jre-8u291-linux-x64.tar.gz
Let the system know where JRE is installed:
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/local/java/jre1.8.0_291/bin/java" 1
After that’s done, check the installation by running:
It should output the following:
java version "1.8.0_291" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_291-b10) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.291-b10, mixed mode)
