Install Java on the linux machine

In this article, we will install Java on the linux machine.

Type of operating system

First, we must check if your operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit. To check that

1. Connect to the Linux machine using the MobaXTerm.

2. Write the following command.

uname -i

If you will get "x86_64" then the system is 64-bit.
