- Once rpm is installed successfully then set the path through bash_profile, to set the path open the bash_profile in vi editor, add the paths and save the file.
[root@testserver jre1.8.0_91]# vi ~/.bash_profile
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.8.0_91/
PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/jre1.8.0_91/bin:$HOME/bin
- Run the command source~/.bash_profile to take these paths into effect.
[root@testserver jre1.8.0_91]# source ~/.bash_profile
- Now verify the set paths using the below commands
[root@testserver jre1.8.0_911]# echo $JAVA_HOME
/usr/java/jre1.8.0_91/
[root@testserver jre1.8.0_91]# echo $PATH
