Java update

[hyperAura]

Hi,

I have java version 6.23 and on the java website it says that the latest version is 6.30 so I am trying to get the latest version.

I have downloaded the Linux x64.bin file and I am wondering how to install it..

I did chmod the file to make it executable and then I tried both ./ and sh to install the bin file but I think that it only unzips the file as I still have java 6.23 version..

So how do I install a bin file?

Thanks

You need to change to the directory that Java is installed into to overwrite the old installation.

Have a look at:

well I have already read java page.. Please be more specific if you can.. have you performed the update?

What you are suggesting is moving the extracted files under usr/bin?? Because I have traced java there but it is not a folder, just the executable command.
