Downloading and installing Java is easy and free. There are a couple ways by which you can get Java for Windows
- Online download
- Offline download
Online
Manual installation downloads an IFTW (Install From The Web) executable program file and requires minimum user intervention. When you run this program, it fetches all the required files from the web, so you must remain connected to the Internet during the installation.
Offline
Offline installation requires you to download an executable file available at the manual Java download page, which includes all the files needed for the complete installation at the user's discretion. There is no need to remain connected to the Internet during the installation. The file can also be copied to and installed on another computer that is not connected to the Internet.
There are two ways by which you can get Java for Linux
- RPM (Redhat Package Manager)
- Self Extracting Binary File
Linux RPM uses Redhat Package Manager to install Java. In order to use this method, RPM must be available on your computer. If it is not available, use the self extracting binary option.
There are a few ways by which you can get Java for Solaris
- Solaris SPARC (32-bit)

Java comes in the form of a self-extracting binary file. Download the appropriate package for your computer architecture and operating system.
