Installing java on Ubuntu Amazon aws

Question

I want to install java in an Ubuntu server in the Amazon aws. How Can I find the model number of that server so I can install the right version of java?

Answer 1

Run lsb_release -a to find the version of Ubuntu you are running.

If you are running 16.04:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk

If you are running 14.04:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
