bash: /usr/bin/java: No such file or directory

Question

I have installed jdk1.8.0 manually from the oracle website.

I have followed the steps here on Digital Ocean.

When I executed java -version I got this result:-

bash: /usr/bin/java: No such file or directory

A symbolic link java is present in /usr/bin/ which is linked to another symbolic link java present in /etc/alternatives/and this link points to /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0.

I have set environment variables:- PATH,JAVA_HOME in the files ~/.bashrc and /etc/profile. Still I am getting No such file or directory.

Actually I want to install hadoop and for this the first step is to install java. I am using Ubuntu 14.04

Answer 1

This is because there are some 32-bit libraries missing in your Ubuntu 64-bit. Run:

apt-get install libc6-i386

you can refer to this Stack Overflow post for more information

Answer 2

I ran into a similar issue and got it solved by

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libc6-i386

If apt-get was not able to locate the libc-i386 package you may need to --add-architecture and run apt-get update.

Answer 3

Try installing OpenJDK 8:

sudo apt install openjdk-8-jre

It worked for me

Answer 4

idk but this worked for me on my parrot os

cd /usr/lib/jvm
ls

Alternatively you can search for the path using

locate java-8-openjdk-amd64

Note - in my case it's openjdk8 find your java version with

java -version
