I'm on windows 10 and running the bash shell (ubuntu), by turning the Windows Subsystem for linux on. Anyways, I'm trying to run some Java programs through the command prompt. I have already set the PATH variables and I can successfully run the java and javac commands in the windows command prompt. However, when I run the javac or java command using Ubuntu shell it says those commands are not found? So it lists some options that I can enter and one of those is
sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk-headless
But when I run this command it says:
E: Unable to locate package openjdk-8-jdk-headless
I don't get it. I already have Java-8 installed and the PATH variables set, it works fine for the windows command prompt but fails to work with ubuntu. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
Do you have to use the OpenJDK version? Try this
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

I am using the machine image available here to host an RStudio server off of EC2 on which I will want to run analysis, in part using xlsx and rvest, both of which require Java and R to cooperate which they do not out of the box. I searched for a few solutions and tried to implement them, but got pretty much nowhere.
I SSH'd into the machine, and entered java -version and got this:
The program 'java' can be found in the following packages:
* default-jre
* gcj-5-jre-headless
* openjdk-8-jre-headless
* gcj-4.8-jre-headless
* gcj-4.9-jre-headless
* openjdk-9-jre-headless
Try: sudo apt install <selected package>
so I'm not sure what to do with that. I tried running sudo apt-get install r-cran-rjava which was also recommend on StackOverflow, and got this error:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package r-cran-rjava
and likewise when I try to run sudo R CMD javareconf this is what I get:
*** JAVA_HOME is not a valid path, ignoring
*** Cannot find any Java interpreter
*** Please make sure 'java' is on your PATH or set JAVA_HOME correspondingly
I searched for Java it's stored here: java: /usr/share/java and I'm not sure how to set JAVA_HOME correctly, or how to set Java correctly.
What should I do?
Installing RJava (Ubuntu)
First, we need Java itself, check if it's installed
Write in Terminal: java -version
but you already checked it, so you need to install it.
If it returns The program java can be found in the following packages, then Java hasn't been installed yet, so execute the following command: sudo apt-get install default-jre. This will install the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
Then Install JDK
Write in Terminal: sudo apt-get install default-jdk
Then assotiate the JDK installed with R
Run in Terminal: sudo R CMD javareconf
Install RJava and Rgdal
Execute: sudo apt-get install r-cran-rjava
Then: sudo apt-get install libgdal1-dev libproj-dev
Install package in RStudio
Run in RStudio: install.packages("rJava")
Done!
When trying to run gradle, I get the following error:
# gradle
ERROR: JAVA_HOME is set to an invalid directory: /usr/lib/jvm/default-java
Please set the JAVA_HOME variable in your environment to match the
location of your Java installation.
However, when I check the JAVA_HOME variable I get:
# echo $JAVA_HOME
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle
My JAVA_HOME is defined in .bashrc and I have double checked that it is set as the source.
Running java -version also confirms that JAVA_HOME is set correctly and is on the PATH.
# java -version
java version "1.7.0_51"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_51-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.51-b03, mixed mode)
I have also checked that /usr/bin/java symlinks to /etc/alternatives/java which in turn correctly symlinks to /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre/bin/java
Additionally I've checked that there are no duplicate JAVA_HOME definitions in .bash_profile or /etc/profile.
So my question is how/why does Gradle find /usr/lib/jvm/default-java, and more importantly how do I point it to the correct directory?
Other programs which require the JDK work fine, so I think its a Gradle issue. I've also tried reinstalling Gradle which made no difference.
I'm running 64bit Xubuntu (Ubuntu 13.10 base)
Turns out that the particular Gradle binary I downloaded from the Ubuntu 13.10 repository itself tries to export JAVA_HOME. Thanks to Lucas for suggesting this.
/usr/bin/gradle line 70:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java
Commenting this line out solves the problem, and Gradle finds the correct path to the Java binary.
If you just download the binary from their website it does not have this problem,
It's an issue with the Ubuntu repo version. There also seem to be some other issues with 13.10 version.
add a symbolic link
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle /usr/lib/jvm/default-java
Solution is to make JAVA_HOME == dir above bin where javac lives as in
type javac
javac is /usr/bin/javac # now check if its just a symlink
ls -la /usr/bin/javac
/usr/bin/javac -> /etc/alternatives/javac # its a symlink so check again
ls -la /etc/alternatives/javac # now check if its just a symlink
/etc/alternatives/javac -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/bin/javac
OK so finally found the bin above actual javac so do this
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
above can be simplified and generalized to
which javac >/dev/null 2>&1 || die "ERROR: no 'javac' command could be found in your PATH"
export JAVA_HOME=$(dirname $(dirname $(readlink -f $(which javac) )))
For me this error was due to the reason Gradle as installed as sudo and I was trying as default user to run Gradle.
Try:
sudo gradle -version
or
sudo gradle -v
In my Ubuntu, I have a headache for 2 days on this issue.
Step 1. Type on the terminal whereis java
then it will display something like this
java: /usr/bin/java /etc/java /usr/share/java /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/bin/java /usr/share/man/man1/java.1.gz
Step 2. Take note of the path:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/bin/java
exclude the bin/java
your JAVA_HOME = /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64
Did you export your JAVA_HOME? Without export, the setting will not be propagated to the commands started inside of that shell. Also, java -version does not use JAVA_HOME, rather it uses the first java found in your path. Make sure your .bashrc looks something like this:
JAVA_HOME=/path/to/java/home
export JAVA_HOME
Try installing latest version of gradle,
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cwchien/gradle
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gradle
If we install from ubuntu repo, it will install the old version , (for me it was gradle 1.4). In older version, it sets java home from gradle as export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java. Latest version don't have this issue.
I faced this issue when I run the following command on Ubuntu:
ionic build android
To solve this issue, I did the following steps:
ln -sf /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java /usr/lib/jvm/default-java
Add JAVA_HOME to /etc/environment:
vi /etc/environment
Add:
JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/default-java"
After saving, read it:
source /etc/environment
Finally, you can run build command.
I had the same problem, but I didnt find export command in line 70 in gradle file for the latest version 2.13, but I understand a silly mistake there, that is following,
If you don't find line 70 with export command in gradle file in your gradle folder/bin/ , then check your ~/.bashrc, if you find export JAVA_HOME==/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/bin/java, then remove /bin/java from this line, like JAVA_HOME==/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64, and it in path>>> instead of this export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:JAVA_HOME/, it will be export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:JAVA_HOME/bin/java. Then run source ~/.bashrc.
The reason is, if you check your gradle file, you will find in line 70 (if there's no export command) or in line 75,
JAVACMD="$JAVA_HOME/bin/java"
fi
if [ ! -x "$JAVACMD" ] ; then
die "ERROR: JAVA_HOME is set to an invalid directory: $JAVA_HOME
That means /bin/java is already there, so it needs to be substracted from JAVA_HOME path.
That happened in my case.
I have tested this on Manjaro Linux. Should work on other Disto too.
You need to include whole java-jdk dir instead of just java/bin for java env var.
For example, instead of:
export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk-14.0.2/bin #change path according to your jdk location
PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME
use this:
export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk-14.0.2/ #change path according to your jdk location
PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME
then run the gradle command it will work.
You can also go to the bin folder inside your gradle installation folder and correct the JAVA_HOME parameter in gradle.bat file.
In my case, my JAVA_HOME was set to c:\Program files\java\bin
The JAVA_HOME in gradle.bat was set to %JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe.
I corrected the JAVA_HOME in gradle.bat and it worked.
Thank you!!!
Before running the command try entering:
export JAVA_HOME="path_to_java_home"
Where path_to_java_home is the folder where your bin/java is.
If java is properly installed you can find it's location, by using the command:
readlink -f $(which java)
Don't forget to remove bin/java from the end of the path while putting it into JAVA_HOME
For me an explicit set on the arguments section of the external tools configuration in Eclipse was the problem.
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre /usr/lib/jvm/default-java
Create a symbolic link to the default-java directory.
You can find your java directory by
readlink -f $(which java)
# outputs: /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre/bin/java
# Remove the last `/bin/java` and use it in above symbolic link command.
I had a problem with this too. It said wrong directory when it was correct. So I just created a local variable with the name of JAVA_HOME omitting the final /bin/java. It worked fine for me.
If your GRADLE_HOME and JAVA_HOME environment are set properly then check your JDK directory and make sure you have java.exe file under below path.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_181\bin
As error mentioned in gradle.bat file
:findJavaFromJavaHome
set JAVA_HOME=%JAVA_HOME:"=%
set JAVA_EXE=%JAVA_HOME%/bin/java.exe
if exist "%JAVA_EXE%" goto init
echo.
echo ERROR: JAVA_HOME is set to an invalid directory: %JAVA_HOME%
echo.
echo Please set the JAVA_HOME variable in your environment to match the
echo location of your Java installation.
It is not able to locate your java installation. So find and set
java.exe
under %JAVA_HOME%/bin if everything is correct.
This works for me (my account got disabled by client and their admin has removed java.exe from my directory.)
[Windows] As already said, it looks like .bat -file tries to find java.exe from %JAVA_HOME%/bin/java.exe so it doesn't find it since bin is repeated twice in path.
Remov that extra /bin from gradle.bat.
In my dockercontainer (being minimal the problem of not finding java) was, that "which" was not installed. Comipling a project using gradlew used which in ./gradlew to find java
Installing which solved the problem.
Adding below lines in build.gradle solved my issue .
sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
#ISSUE:GradleException: javaConfig.targetVersion is Java 8, but the environment variable JAVA8_HOME does not exist
I think this is how you fix it in IntelliJ. I've run into it a couple times as I choose "Launch in New Window" for a new project but I haven't written down the steps yet.
1.File -> Project Structure. Project Settings / Project. Make sure Project SDK and Project language level are correct.
2.Preferences. Build, Execution, Deployment / Build Tools / Gradle. Make sure Gradle JVM is correct.
You may have to restart IntelliJ after this.
NOW it SOLVED THE ISSUE
Task :prepareKotlinBuildScriptModel UP-TO-DATE
Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 8.0.
You can use '--warning-mode all' to show the individual deprecation warnings and determine if they come from your own scripts or plugins.

I did these steps without error:
JDK path :
Downloads/jdk-6u37-linux-x64.bin
Commands in Terminal:
mkdir Programs
cd Programs
bash ../Downloads/jdk-6u37-linux-x64.bin
ln -s jdk-6u37-linux-x64 jdk
Set JAVA_HOME and Path:
I added the following lines to the end of the .bashrc file:
export JAVA_HOME=$Home/Programs/jdk
export PATH=:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
This is the result of executing the command echo $JAVA_HOME:
/Programs/jdk
This is the result of executing the command echo $PATH:
:/Programs/jdk/bin:/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games1
And the problem is:
This is the result of executing the command
$ java -version
The program 'java' can be found in the following packages:
* default-jre
* gcj-4.6-jre-headless
* gcj-4.7-jre-headless
* openjdk-7-jre-headless
* openjdk-6-jre-headless
Try: sudo apt-get install
I think the problem is that environment variables are case sensitive in linux, so your
export JAVA_HOME=$Home/Programs/jdk
Should be
export JAVA_HOME=$HOME/Programs/jdk
In your echo $JAVA_HOME output you can see that you don't get your /home/yourname prepended...
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
The scripts located here will help you install sun's jdk on Ubuntu. Really useful stuff.
try this command
sudo update-alternatives --config java
This will list all the Java versions installed and configured.
If you see one or more installs, it will give you a list each element starting with a number. Just choose the number that corresponds to the version you want to use by default.
I tried to mvn install and got this message:
Compilation failure
Unable to locate the Javac Compiler in:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/../lib/tools.jar
Please ensure you are using JDK 1.4 or above and
not a JRE (the com.sun.tools.javac.Main class is required).
In most cases you can change the location of your Java
installation by setting the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
Well, there is an open jdk, I also downloaded another one. I tried to point JAVA_HOME to both, now it is set:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_03
export JAVA_HOME
PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
export PATH
I also tried to choose one of those open with sudo update-alternatives --config java but got the same error with different jdk versions in it.
How can I fix that? Thanks in advance.
it seems like your PATH is not picked up correctly... does the output of "echo $PATH" contain the directory where javac resides?
I would suggest following:
open terminal and do an:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_03
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
javac -version
which javac
if javac -version still does not work create a symlink in /usr/local/bin pointing to your javac binary:
cd /usr/local/bin
ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_03/bin/javac javac
this should get you up an running...
an alternative is to try setting up java via your package management system (e.g. "apt-get install java" or sth. similar)
I faced similar error on an ubuntu machine while running a maven build from Jenkins. If output of 'javac -version' prompts below messages:
"The program 'javac' can be found in the following packages:
default-jdk
ecj
gcj-5-jdk
openjdk-8-jdk-headless
gcj-4.8-jdk
gcj-4.9-jdk
openjdk-9-jdk-headless
Try: apt install "
Then you can install "openjdk-8-jdk-headless" using:
apt install openjdk-8-jdk-headless
This solved my problem and the maven build went through ok.
