Installing Oracle Java on Ubuntu 12.04

OpenJDK is what Ubuntu uses as default for java web pages, but it leaves much to be desired. If you want to run Oracle Java on your Ubuntu computer simply open a terminal an enter the following commands:

~ $ sudo -s
~ # aptitude install python-software-properties *may not be needed
~ # add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java 
~ # aptitude update 
~ # aptitude install oracle-java7-installer
~ # aptitude install oracle-jdk7-installer
~ # java -version
