Installing java in linux easy steps

2:10:00 AM , , , , No comments
I have read lots of user posting at various pages and none of them would work. Finally, I found a way to do this correctly and hope this will help to some of you.
Follow the simple steps:
1. To set the environment variables :
echo ‘export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk1.5.0_12’ > /etc/profile.d/jdk.sh
echo ‘export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH’ >> /etc/profile.d/jdk.sh
2. You have to source the file you just created by typing:
source /etc/profile.d/jdk.sh
3. Test if Java environment is successfully installed by typing in this in the shell:
java -version

Installing Java through Ansible Playbook

Playbooks are Ansible’s configuration, deployment, and orchestration language. They can describe a policy you want your remote systems to enforce, or a set of steps in a general IT process.
If Ansible modules are the tools in your workshop, playbooks are your instruction manuals, and your inventory of hosts are your raw material.
At a basic level, playbooks can be used to manage configurations of and deployments to remote machines. At a more advanced level, they can sequence multi-tier rollouts involving rolling updates, and can delegate actions to other hosts, interacting with monitoring servers and load balancers along the way.
