I’ll show you how to get Java runtime installer, so you can use it to install Java on Firefox in this video. By installing Java runtime plug-in for Mozzilla Firefox, you can run Java Applet programs and games on your computer or online in Mozzilla Firefox browser for Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS.

The fastest way to install the Java runtime in Ubuntu is to use Ubuntu’s built in terminal command prompt which is all text based.  Java is a multi-platform programming language which works on Linux, Windows, Mac, and other Operating Systems for computers.

Java is commonly used for making Applet programs found on the internet.

However, in order to run Java programs, you need to install the Java runtime plug-ins for your web browser.

1. Download the self-extracting Java installer with a .bin extension at Java.com . Save it in your downloads folder in your Home drive/partition.

2. Open up Terminal Command prompt for Linux.

3. Type these commands.

cd /Home/Username/downloads/

chmod a+x NameOfJavainstaller.bin

./NameOfJavainstaller.bin

Yes

ls

Go back to Java.com and verify your installation, and let Firefox install its add-ons for Java runtime.

Now Java should work on your Ubuntu Linux 10.04 computer.
