This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the Java programming language on a Fedora 38.
Prerequisites
- A server running one of the following operating systems: Fedora 38.
- It’s recommended that you use a fresh OS install to prevent any potential issues.
- SSH access to the server (or just open Terminal if you’re on a desktop).
- An active internet connection. You’ll need an internet connection to download the necessary packages and dependencies for Java.
- A
non-root sudo useror access to theroot user. We recommend acting as anon-root sudo user, however, as you can harm your system if you’re not careful when acting as the root.

Step 1. Before we can install Java on Fedora 38, it’s important to ensure that our system is up-to-date with the latest packages. This will ensure that we have access to the latest features and bug fixes and that we can install Java for any issues:
sudo dnf upgrade --refresh sudo dnf install dnf-plugins-core
Step 2. Installing Java on Fedora 38.
- Method 1. Install OpenJDK √
Run the following command to install OpenJDK:

tar -xzf jdk-20_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz
Move the extracted package to the /opt directory using the following command:
sudo mv jdk-20.0.1 /opt/
