I'm new to linux, I don't understand symbolic links, how apt-get works or how to get back removed files. Almost all commands here are from searching for a solution to the problem.
When I run update-java-alternatives -l I get
java-1.11.0-openjdk-amd64 1111 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.11.0-openjdk-amd64
java-1.17.0-openjdk-amd64 1711 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.17.0-openjdk-amd64
But when I attempt to do ls or cd to /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.17.0-openjdk-amd64 I get the error that it doesn't exist.
While I was trying some things I removed the directory, and now I can't get it back, don't know what to install and is not in the recycle bin. Attempted the following commands
sudo apt-get install openjdk-17-jdk // already installed
sudo apt-get install openjdk-17-jre // already installed
I need to get the directory to select it as the home folder for IntelliJ IDEA JRE and be able to run a Spring Boot >6.0 application, since java 11 needs Spring Boot 5.3.
ls /usr/lib/jvm/ returns
default-java java-1.11.0-openjdk-amd64 java-11-openjdk-amd64 java-17-openjdk-amd64 openjdk-17
As you can see I have the directory java-1.11.0-openjdk-amd64 which works fine when selecting it as home directory in the Intellij IDE, but I need the java-1.17
Also did this with JAVA_HOME and attempted sudo apt-get install java-1.17.0-openjdk-devel but no package found.
I recently bought the Raspberry Pi 3 b + version, installed the Java 8 191 version and unpacked it after receiving 'eclipse-jee-2018-09-linux-gtk.tar.gz' from the Eclipse official website And when I hit the executable file, I get no response.
Why are you doing this?
Note that both 32-bit and 64-bit versions can not run.
Try installing Eclipse via apt-get:
open the terminal and run these commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install eclipse
once the installation is over and went without errors you should see the Eclipse icon under the programming section of the start menu.
In case you want to use the EE and the tar ball.
Open the terminal and locate the tar.gz file.
I'm assuming you are going to install it on /usr/local
then do:
cd /usr/local
sudo tar xzvf eclipse-jee-2018-09-linux-gtk.tar.gz
cd /usr/bin
sudo ln -s /usr/local/eclipse/eclipse
To make sure it works:
ls -ld /usr/bin/eclipse
You should get something like /usr/bin/eclipse -> /usr/local/eclipse/eclipse
Now you should be able to create a shortcut or open the terminal and type:
eclipse&
To load it.
Tell me how it goes.
I'm new to Ubuntu and Linux in general. I want to code in Java on my computer, but I'm having problems installing IntelliJ IDEA on Ubuntu. I have downloaded and extracted the file and for some reason renamed the folder to idea. I tried moving the folder to /usr/share/applications or something but I didn't have permission. I used sudo -i in terminal to gain permission but didn't manage to get out of root folder. Can anyone help me with a step by step way to move the folder, create a shortcut in the search bar or whatever it's called and install it properly?
Note: This answer covers the installation of IntelliJ IDEA. For an extended script, that covers more JetBrains IDEs, as well as help for font rendering issues, please see this link provided by brendan.
Furthermore, a manual Desktop Entry creation is optional, as newer versions of IntelliJ offer to create it on first startup.
I have my intellij int /opt folder. So what I do is:
Download Intellij
Extract intellij to /opt-folder: sudo tar -xvf <intellij.tar> -C /opt/ (the -C option extracts the tar to the folder /opt/)
Create a Desktop Entry File called idea.desktop (see example file below) and store it anywhere you want (let's assume in your home directory)
Move the idea.desktop from your home directory to /usr/share/applications: sudo mv ~/idea.desktop /usr/share/applications/
Now (in a lot) Ubuntu versions you can start the application after the GUI is restarted. If you don't know how to do that, you can restart your PC..
idea.desktop (this is for community edition version 14.1.2, you have to change the paths in Exec= and Icon= lines if the path is different for you):
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=IntelliJ IDEA
Comment=IntelliJ IDEA
Exec=/opt/ideaIC-14.1.2/bin/idea.sh
Icon=/opt/ideaIC-14.1.2/bin/idea.png
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=true
Type=Application
Edit
I also found a shell script that does this for you, here. The given script in the link installs Oracle Java 7 for you and gives you the choice between Community and Ultimate Edition. It then automatically downloads the newest version for you, extracts it and creates a desktop entry.
I have modified the scripts to fulfill my needs. It does not install java 8 and it does not ask you for the version you want to install (but the version is kept in a variable to easily change that). You can also update Intellij with it. But then you have to (so far) manually remove the old folder! This is what i got:
Edit2
Here is the new version of the script. As mentioned in the comments, breandan has updated the script to be more stable (the jetbrains website changed its behavior). Thanks for the update, breandan.

You can also try my ubuntu repository: https://launchpad.net/~mmk2410/+archive/ubuntu/intellij-idea
To use it just run the following commands:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mmk2410/intellij-idea
sudo apt-get update
The community edition can then installed with
sudo apt-get install intellij-idea-community
and the ultimate edition with
sudo apt-get install intellij-idea-ultimate
JetBrains has a new application called the Toolbox App which quickly and easily installs any JetBrains software you want, assuming you have the license. It also manages your login once to apply across all JetBrains software, a very useful feature.
To use it, download the tar.gz file here, then extract it and run the included executable jetbrains-toolbox. Then sign in, and press install next to IntelliJ IDEA:
If you want to move the executable to /usr/bin/ feel free, however it works fine out of the box wherever you extract it to.
This will also make the appropriate desktop entries upon install.
Since Ubuntu 18.04 installing Intellij IDEA is easy! You just need to search "IDEA" in Software Center. Also you're able to choose a branch to install (I use EAP).
For earlier versions:
According to this (snap) and this (umake) articles the most comfortable ways are:
to use snap-packages (since versions IDEA 2017.3 & Ubuntu 14.04):
install snapd system. Since Ubuntu 16.04 you already have it.
install IDEA snap-package or even EAP build
to use ubuntu-make
(for Ubuntu versions earlier than 16.04 use apt-get command instead apt):
Add PPA ubuntu-desktop/ubuntu-make (if you install ubuntu-make from standard repo you'll see only a few IDE's):
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-desktop/ubuntu-make
Install ubuntu-make:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install ubuntu-make
install preffered ide (IDEA, for this question):
$ umake ide idea
or even ultimate version if you need:
$ umake ide idea-ultimate
I upgrade Intellij IDEA via reinstalling it:
$ umake -r ide idea-ultimate
$ umake ide idea-ultimate
TL;DR:
Download IntelliJ IDEA from here.
cd Downloads
extract the downloaded file: sudo tar xf ideaIC-2017.2.5.tar.gz -C /opt/
Switch to the bin directory: cd /opt/idea-IC-172.4343.14/bin
Run idea.sh from the bin subdirectory.
Since Ubuntu 16.04 includes snapd by default.
So, the easiest way to install the stable version is
IntelliJ IDEA Community:
$ sudo snap install intellij-idea-community --classic
IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate:
$ sudo snap install intellij-idea-ultimate --classic
For the latest version use channel --edge
$ sudo snap install intellij-idea-community --classic --edge
Here is the list of all channels https://snapcraft.io/intellij-idea-ultimate (drop down 'All versions').
options
--classic
The --classic option is required because the IntelliJ IDEA snap requires full access to the system, like a traditionally packaged application.
[https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/install-and-set-up-product.html#install-on-linux-with-snaps]
--edge
--edge Install from the edge channel
[http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man1/snap.1.html]
Note: Snap, also work a few major distributions: Arch, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, Linux Mint,...
Recent IntelliJ versions allows automatic creation of desktop entry. See this gist
Launch from commandline. If launching for the first time, setup will ask about creating a desktop launcher icon; say yes. Or else after launching (ie. from the commandline) any time, use the IDEA menu Configure > Create Desktop Entry . That should create /usr/share/applications/intellij-idea-community.desktop
Trigger the Ubuntu desktop search (ie. Windows key), find the Intellij IDEA you used to create the desktop entry.
Drag the icon it's showing into the Ubuntu Launcher.
In a simple manner you can also try to just run a pre-packaged docker with intellij, I found the good job of #dlsniper : https://hub.docker.com/r/dlsniper/docker-intellij/
you just need to have docker installed and to run :
docker run -tdi \
--net="host" \
--privileged=true \
-e DISPLAY=${DISPLAY} \
-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
-v ${HOME}/.IdeaIC2016.1_docker:/home/developer/.IdeaIC2016.1 \
-v ${GOPATH}:/home/developer/go \
dlsniper/docker-intellij
Standalone installation
Download the tarball.tar.gz.
Extract the tarball to a directory that supports file execution.
For example, to extract it to the recommended /opt directory, run the following command:
sudo tar -xzf ideaIC-2020.3.tar.gz -C /opt
Go to /opt folder and open intellij folder
Go to /bin folder and execute the command sh idea.sh
Now the application opened and create the desktop shortcut if you need
I find and follow this youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbW-doAiAvI
Basically, download the tar.gz package, extract into /opt/, and then run the "idea.sh" under bin folder (i.e. /opt/idea-IC-163.7743.44/bin/idea.sh)
Enjoy
I needed to install various JetBrains tools on a number of machines from CLI, so I wrote a tiny tool to help with that. It also uses cleaner APIs from JB making it hopefully more stable, and works for various JB tools.

try simple way to install intellij idea
Install IntelliJ on Ubuntu using Ubuntu Make
You need to install Ubuntu Make first. If you are using Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04 or a higher version, you can install Ubuntu Make using the command below:
sudo apt install ubuntu-make
Once you have Ubuntu Make installed, you can use the command below to install IntelliJ IDEA Community edition:
umake ide idea
To install the IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate edition, use the command below:
umake ide idea-ultimate
To remove IntelliJ IDEA installed via Ubuntu Make, use the command below for your respective versions:
umake -r ide idea
umake -r ide idea-ultimate

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 and Eclipse Luna. To work with Eclipse and Tomcat together followed this steps.
1) Installed Tomcat using : sudo apt-get install tomcat7
2) From eclipse tomcat start and stop works fine with below image radio button 1 option (double click server in eclipse). But with option 1 browser find 404 to visit http://localhost:8080/
3) Apply the option 2 :Use Tomcat installation(Take control of Tomcat installation)
like the image below
It does not even start the server with radio option 2. When I tried to start server find error like this
I have tried to find solution from this link. Applied this but it does not worked for me.
<workspace-directory>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources
Also tried to apply from link and changed port. but not worked.
Also Executed option like this :
cd~/workspaceEclipse/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings
rm org.eclipse.wst.server.core.prefs
rm org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.core.prefs
rm org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.core.prefs
rm org.eclipse.wst.server.core.prefs
cd /usr/share/tomcat7
sudo service tomcat7 stop
sudo update-rc.d tomcat7 disable
sudo ln -s /var/lib/tomcat7/conf conf
sudo ln -s /etc/tomcat7/policy.d/03catalina.policy conf/catalina.policy
sudo ln -s /var/log/tomcat7 log
sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/share/tomcat7/conf
sudo ln -s /var/lib/tomcat7/common common
sudo ln -s /var/lib/tomcat7/server server
sudo ln -s /var/lib/tomcat7/shared shared
Can anyone know solution of this problem ?
I'd recomment do avoid using eclipse with the Ubuntu repository Tomcat.
Unless you run eclipse as root you will not be able to publish your configuration.
Download tomcat manually, unpack in your home folder and you should get rid of your problem
You are having file permission issue.
Just go to /usr/share/tomcat by the user you logged in and give recursive read+ write permission to sub-directories for the user by which you running eclipse.
I have a bash script on a Linux box that runs a Jar file. When logged in as a regular user I don't have permission to run the script, but it prints the following log:
*INFO * Using JVM found at /opt/jdk6/bin/java
When I try to use the script with Sudo though, it gives:
*ERROR* Unable to locate java, please make sure java is installed and JAVA_HOME set
I've set JAVA_HOME to the same path above — can see it with echo $JAVA_HOME & it's also set as an option within the script. I'm happy that the script isn't the issue — it's a default CQ5 control script & I'm using it on dozens of other boxes without issue. Just unsure what I'm doing wrong above & presume it's something I'm missing re Linux set-up?
When I run the sudo command, does it have access to the JAVA_HOME that I set up as myself?
By default, sudo will cleanup the environment of the spawned commands. Pass -E to keep it:
sudo -E env
Compare to:
sudo env
"sudo -E " didn't solve the problem when JAVA_HOME was not exported. And when it was exported, "sudo " without -E works the same.
So you can add export JAVA_HOME=.../jdk<version> in your .bash_profile and .bashrc file.
In case you wondered what's the difference of .bash_profile and .bashrc, .bash_profile is executed upon login (e.g., show some diagnostic/welcome information). .bash_rc is executed when you open a new terminal (e.g., shift-ctrl-T).
In order to run some commands for both cases, you can put it in .bashrc file, and let .bash_profile source .bashrc:
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
source ~/.bashrc
fi
You could always just pass it to java explicitly like this:
sudo java -Djava.home=$JAVA_HOME Test
