This repository provides a Debian package with the script and the same support files as in the support tarball. Setting things up is a bit more work, but the script will be properly integrated in your system. Additional advantages: a possibly installed out-of-date sun-java6 installation will be removed completely and if you keep the software source in your list, you will automatically receive updates of the script.
The procedure:
- put the line
deb http://www.duinsoft.nl/pkg debs all
in the file /etc/apt/sources.list, either using Software Sources from your System Menu or by editing the file in an editor (as root)
or:
put this line in a file named (e.g.) duinsoft.list in the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d - import the gpg key with the command (all on one line)
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 5CB26B26
- enter the commands (two lines)
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install update-sun-jre
or use Synaptic to install the package - installation of the Runtime Environment will follow automatically
