One recent request I have seen around the Web is, how do you install JRE on a dedicated server? Well if you are using Cent OS as your dedicated server operating system of choice, I have found a great guide to help you get going.
Thus I would like to give a short update to the blog post, since some things have changed since then. Also CentOS has been updated to Version 5.2 in the meantime.
The way I have done it with modifying the symbolic link in “/usr/bin/java/” still works, but it is not the recommended way to do it. Thus I follow here the path that the CentOS project has outlined. Where applicable I updated the link information. So, without further ado, let’s install JRE 6 or update it to the latest Version (update 6 for 6) as of today (06/26/2008).
Check out the rest of this great tutorial here:
