Install Java

For ExtraView 11.1 and all newer versions require a minimum Java of version JRE 8. If your system is running with any earlier version of Java, you must upgrade to this version.

For ExtraView 20.0, you may run Java 9 and above.

The following steps will install Java into the directory $BASE/1.8.0_xx.  Adjust the path names to suit the version of Java you are installing.

cd $INSTALL 
cp jre-8uxx-linux-x64.gz $BASE
cd $BASE 
tar xzf jre-8uxx-linux-x64.gz
 

Java is now installed in the directory $BASE/jre1.8.0_xx
