Hi folks
I am new to Java installation as i was a windows user and I didnt install java before. I am now using Fedora8 and trying to get JRE running Java applets launched via firefox3

I havent been successful, despite installing jre package using both rpm and yum installers couple of times.

jre-6u6-linux-i586.rpm

i have the following output of java version:


[root@localhost opt]# java -version
java version "1.6.0_06"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_06-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 10.0-b22, mixed mode, sharing)
I see that the java is installed in below folder:
[root@localhost bin]# pwd
/usr/java/latest/bin

I tried the below executable:
[root@localhost bin]# ./java_vm

java_vm process: You need to set both JAVA_HOME and PLUGIN_HOME
[root@localhost bin]#

what should the above variables set to? Why yum installation take care of this? I cant find the relevant documentation

Can some one help me go thru steps
Thanks in advance!

Please go to this website for detailed instructions on how to install Sun's Java on Fedora 8.

You will need to install the complete JDK instead of just the JRE but that gives you the ability to compile too.
