In this article, i will take you through OpenJDK Installation on CentOS 7 with easy steps.
OpenJDK (Open Java Development Kit) is a free and open-source implementation of the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE). It is the result of an effort Sun Microsystems began in 2006.
The implementation is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL) version 2 with a linking exception. Were it not for the GPL linking exception, components that linked to the Java class library would be subject to the terms of the GPL license. OpenJDK is the official reference implementation of Java SE since version 7.
OpenJDK Installation on CentOS 7 is fairly easy and straightforward.
OpenJDK Installation Steps
Update all the packages first through yum tool
[root@localhost ~]# yum update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirrors.piconets.webwerks.in * extras: mirrors.piconets.webwerks.in * updates: mirrors.piconets.webwerks.in No packages marked for update
Install OpenJDK package
[root@localhost ~]# yum install java-11-openjdk Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirrors.piconets.webwerks.in * extras: mirrors.piconets.webwerks.in * updates: mirrors.piconets.webwerks.in Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package java-11-openjdk.x86_64 1:11.0.4.11-1.el7_7 will be installed --> Processing Dependency:
