Linux Uprising help for installing Java on debian or ubuntu

To use the linuxuprising method, you still need the tar.gz file.

Option 1 download tar.gz thru Oracle

Stackoverflow makes it sound like it can be outside the login portal of Oracle, but something changed recently...

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10268583/downloading-java-jdk-on-linux-via-wget-is-shown-license-page-instead

Instead, this page helped...

http://bugmenot.com/view/oracle.com

Then go get the version you want.

https://download.oracle.com/otn/java/jdk/11.0.13%2B10/bdde8881e2e3437baa70044f884d2d67/jdk-11.0.13_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz
https://download.oracle.com/otn/java/jdk/11.0.14%2B8/7e5bbbfffe8b45e59d52a96aacab2f04/jdk-11.0.14_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz
(Requires a login to oracle)

Option 2 use a mirror

https://www.techspot.com/downloads/5553-java-jdk.html

https://files02.tchspt.com/temp/jdk-11.0.14_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz

This almost worked... the linuxuprising repo requires 11.0.13 at the time of writing, so I ended up getting that one instead from oracle. I couldn't find a mirror for it.

v11.0.14 MD5 check

I downloaded both and got this:

$ md5 jdk-11*
MD5 (jdk-11.0.14_linux-x64_bin (1).tar.gz) = c2037b5f2e2a6ddcfbdfe1489bccfd63
MD5 (jdk-11.0.14_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz) = c2037b5f2e2a6ddcfbdfe1489bccfd63

Install script for v11.0.13

After all the things above, you can just use the download link from oracle in your script. Here's my working script.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
# set -x
cache_folder=/var/cache/oracle-jdk11-installer-local/
sudo mkdir -p $cache_folder
#url='https://download.oracle.com/otn/java/jdk/11.0.4+10/cf1bbcbf431a474eb9fc550051f4ee78/jdk-11.0.14_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz'
#url='https://download.oracle.com/otn/java/jdk/11.0.14%2B8/7e5bbbfffe8b45e59d52a96aacab2f04/jdk-11.0.14_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz'

wget --no-check-certificate -c --header "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" "$url"
sudo cp $(basename $url) $cache_folder

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y software-properties-common && \
    sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:linuxuprising/java && \
    sudo apt update && \
    echo oracle-java11-installer shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-2 select true | sudo /usr/bin/debconf-set-selections && \
    sudo apt install -y oracle-java11-installer-local && \
    sudo apt install oracle-java11-set-default-local
rm -rf $cache_folder
