Install Java Advanced Imaging ImageIO Tools on a Linux Machine

1 How to install Java Advanced Imaging ImageIO Tools on Ubuntu Linux

• Download the script

wget http://timphillips.net/mirc/install-JAI-imageIO.txt.txt

• Make it executable

mv ./install-JAI-imageIO.txt.txt ./install-JAI-imageIO.txt
chmod 777 ./install-JAI-imageIO.txt

• Run the script

./install-JAI-imageIO.txt

2 What the script does

• Checks you're running it as root or using sudo.
• Updates the Ubuntu repos.
• Checks which chipset you're running.
• Answers the Java installation questions in advance.
• Installs Oracle / Sun Java.

#!/bin/bash

# Make sure only root can run our script
if $EUID -ne 0 ; then
echo "This script must be run as root or using sudo" 1>&2
exit 1
