Please mind im fairly new to linux so please try to keep the technobabble to a minimum.

So in the ubuntu software centre i tried to install the java 6 runtime and it gave me this error message

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
openjdk-6-jre: Depends: openjdk-6-jre-headless (>= 6b34-1.13.6-1ubuntu0.14.04.1) but 6b34-1.13.6-1ubuntu0.14.04.1 is to be installed
               Depends: libjpeg8 (>= 8c) but 8c-2ubuntu8 is to be installed
               Depends: libpulse0 (>= 1:0.99.1) but 1:4.0-0ubuntu11 is to be installed
               Depends: libatk-wrapper-java-jni (>= 0.30.4-0ubuntu2) but it is not going to be installed

Another window popped up and said that

The Ubuntu Software Centre is has experienced an internal error

You can try running this command from your terminal: $ sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre. See more info here: http://openjdk.java.net/install/

You shouldn't install JDK for all system (java for all system on Russian), install it for specified user - it's more flexible:

  1. Download any JDK (*.tar.gz or *.sh)
  2. Install it to any folder (basically *.sh script will only unpack archive, so new JDK can be manually unpacked to any folder), so java will be located here - /home/evgeniy_fitsner/develop/soft/jdk/64/6/bin/java
  3. Open ~/.profile and add JAVA_HOME to you path like below:
    export JAVA_HOME="/home/evgeniy_fitsner/develop/soft/jdk/64/6" export PATH="$JAVA_HOME:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH"
  4. Restart system (I'm not like source ~/.profile)

Now you could check Java version, type in console: java -version
