Here are steps you need to follow to install Java on a VPS server:
1. Connect to your VPS server: You can use ssh (secure shell) to connect to your VPS server. You can do this by using this ssh command in your terminal `ssh root@Your_Server_IP_Address`. Replace “Your_Server_IP\_Address” with your actual VPS server IP address.
1. Update the system: Always make sure that before installing any packages, your system is up to date. You can use the following command to update your system `sudo apt-get update`.
1. Install Java: You can install the Java Development Kit (JDK) using `sudo apt-get install default-jdk`. This will install the latest version of JDK. If you need a specific version, you can specify the version in the command.
1. Verify Java is installed: After installing Java, you can verify it by checking the version of Java that is installed. Use this command to check the Java version `java -version`.
Please note all above commands are for Ubuntu VPS Server. The commands might vary if you are using other Operating System.
Always remember to replace “Your_Server_IP\_Address” with your actual IP. The default user for VPS is usually “root” and in some cases it might be “admin”. If you have updated it then replace “root” in `ssh root@Your_Server_IP_Address` command with your updated one.
Also in some cases depending on your user, you might need to use `sudo` (Super User DO) before the commands which need root permissions. The `sudo` command allows you to run programs with the security privileges of another user (by default, as the superuser).
