How do I install a .bin file - jacatone - 2008-03-05

I downloaded the Java for Linux file and it's a .bin file. How would I install it? Please give me the commands with the following file name included:

jre-6u3-linux-i586.bin

Many thanks.

it depends, on what distro you use, with debian-based, you just in

Code:
apt-get update && apt-get install sun-java6-jre

and if you want the plugin, get 'sun-java6-plugin' with apt too!

otherwise you'll find the rpm, deb and source here: java-packages just follow the instruction and you're ready to go!

//edit: why is my codebox soo huge??? sorry about that!
