Title: How to agree to Java Agreement?
Post by: cURIOUSgEORGE on July 10, 2013, 04:47:06 PM

How to agree to Java Agreement? I downloaded Java from the appbrowser. In-fact, I downloaded all four versions, maybe 3 idk, I lost count and I can not seem to find a place to click agree in the java agreement. I followed the instructions giving in the app browser, and went to the java agreement website, scrolled all the ways down, and I do not see any button to click so I can agree that I accept the term of service.

The website that I was lead to from the app browsers directions is http://java.com/license

So my question is ... How do I agree to the license agreement when there clearly is no way how to?

Thanks in advance. George ~

You run "sudo java-installer".

Thanks Gerald ...

I just tried it. And according to what the TC Script says in the terminal when running "sudo java-installer" (without quotes), it says ...


"Before proceeding You must download jdk-7u7-linux-i586.tar.gz
from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
to /home/tc"


So, I went to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

but the problem is that "jdk-7u7-linux-i586.tar.gz" is no longer on the website.

So, I am assuming that the script in the terminal is referring to an old Java version, but I went ahead and downloaded the latest version "jdk-7u25-linux-i586.tar.gz" and " jdk-7u25-nb-7_3_1-linux-i586.sh" and after downloading them to home/tc, I still get ...


 "Before proceeding You must download jdk-7u7-linux-i586.tar.gz
from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
to /home/tc"

What would you do and where do I go from here?

Thanks Gerald.

Side note: Now that you told me this and now that I went to this link, I accepted both terms of agreement.

EDITED: I am running Tinycore version 4.7.7

Not sure why it is so complicated, but then again, this is Linux.

ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, George.

Not sure, but you may try changing the jdk version line in the java-installer script itself or the .sh file.
I remember, i was successful in installing jdk on some linux version before Oracle took over SunJava, but unfortunately I do not have that version with me, now.
Best luck to you ! I am using open-jdk instead.

Hi cURIOUSgEORGE
From the info file:

Quote

      * If a newer version is available, set UPD variable:
      $ sudo UPD=8 java-installer (that is 7u8)

Try:

Code: [Select]

sudo UPD=25 java-installer
