Installing Sun JDK 6 on Ubuntu 12.04

When I want to install hadoop, hive, R, and RHive, the dependencies is JDK, previously I use embedded java from linux package, but, it doesn’t work well, so I try to install Sun JDK downloaded from Oracle, by using the reference from here

Installing Sun JDK 7 on Ubuntu 12.04

• Download the sun jdk 6 bin from here.
• Make the bin file executeable:

      $ chmod +x jdk-6u32-linux-x64.bin

• Extract the bin file:

      $ ./jdk-6u32-linux-x64.bin

• For Ubuntu 13.04: There is no longer a jvm folder in /usr/lib, therefore create jvm folder

      $ sudo mkdir /usr/lib/jvm

• Move extracted folder to this location:

      $ sudo mv jdk1.6.0_38 /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_38

• Install new java source in system:

      $ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_38/bin/javac 1
      $ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_38/bin/java 1
      $ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javaws javaws /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_38/bin/javaws 1

• Choose default java:

      $ sudo update-alternatives --config javac
      $ sudo update-alternatives --config java
      $ sudo update-alternatives --config javaws

• java version test:

      $ java -version

• Verify the symlinks all point to the new java location:

      $ ls -la /etc/alternatives/java*

Installing Sun JDK 7 on Ubuntu 12.04

• Install new java source in system:

      $ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_11/bin/javac 1
      $ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_11/bin/java 1
      $ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javaws javaws /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_11/bin/javaws 1

Update JAVA_HOME

JAVA_HOME configuration: Some tools require JAVA_HOME variable. You can set JAVA_HOME in Ubuntu so simple: Edit the file .bashrc under your home directory and add the following lines: (if .bashrc is hidden, click in Nautilus Menu View > Show Hidden Files)

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_11 or /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_45
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

or add this JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_11 in /etc/environment with sudo gedit /etc/environment

while installing RHive, if the libjvm.so is missing, I try to add this following line in .bashrc file, and it’s working

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_45
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/amd64/server

Open .rar file in ubuntu

.rar (Roshal ARchive) files are one of the popular data compression methods. It was developed by Eugene Roshal. RAR files may be created only with commercial software WinRAR, As WinRAR is not an open source software, support for the RAR files is not given in the Linux distributions. So Ubuntu’s archive manager can not handle .rar file. But we can extract .rar files by installing a program called unrar. To install unrar, open terminal and run this command.

sudo apt-get install unrar

So this installs the unrar in your machine and you can open .rar files by running this command –

$ unrar e file.rar (replace file.rar with your filename/path)

To extract .rar files, open terminal and run the below command,
