How do I install Java?
The SEO PowerSuite toolkit is built using cutting-edge Java technology.
The apps require a current version of Java Runtime Environment from Oracle to function properly (version 1.8 or newer).
Please make sure to check the Java installation instructions for your OS below.
Windows
You may use the Java detection tool to ensure that you have the recommended version of Java installed on your Windows PC and identify any versions that are out of date and should be uninstalled.
To install the latest 64-bit Java manually, simply use the free download link from Java.com.
Run the .exe file and click the Install button to accept the license terms and to continue with the installation.
If you are into it, enable automatic updates for your system. This is done through the Java Control Panel (Start menu > Control Panel > Programs > Java > Update).
MacOS
You may detect the Java version you currently have by using Java's applet. To remove any out-of-date versions of Java from your computer (recommended), use the Java Uninstall Tool or follow the guide to remove it manually using Terminal.
To install the latest version of Java, follow the free download link, click to Agree and Start Free Download.
Open the download file, double-click on the package icon, and follow the wizard to complete the installation (Continue > Install > enter your Administrator password > Install Software).
To schedule automatic updates, please follow these instructions provided by Apple.
Linux/UNIX
On Linux, you'll need to have Oracle Java installed (Open JDK is not supported by the software).
To detect the current version, use the test tool. Remove any out-of-date versions following this guide.
To install the freshest version of Java, please download a self-extracting archive from Java.com (suits most Linux distributives) and follow the installation instructions. Alternatively, use an RPM installer.
Installing Oracle Java version 8 on Ubuntu
NOTE: All of the tools developed by Link-Assistant.Com are built using the latest Java technology. They require a recent version of Java Runtime Environment to function correctly.
Therefore, to install and run the software on your Ubuntu, you'll need to make sure that you have Oracle Java set as your system's default Environment. Open JDK is not supported at this time.
1. If needed, uninstall the previous Oracle Java versions through Terminal with the following command:
sudo apt remove [java version file]
for example:
sudo apt remove oracle-java17-installer
*removes Java v17. Make sure to specify the folder, which stores the files related to the Java you are looking to remove.
2. Go to theofficial Oracle websiteand download the 'Linux x64' java version, it will be loaded as an archive:
3. Unpack the archive and move the folder to the directory where you store java files (in our example it is /usr/lib/jvm). By default most Java versions (both Oracle and Open JDK) are stored in '/usr/lib/jvm' directory:
sudo mv [folder name] /[path to directory]
As on the screenshot above:
sudo mv jre1.8.0_333 /usr/lib/jvm
4. Once you have the installation folder (in our example - jre1.8.0_333) in the correct directory,set the path for an alternative Java versionthrough Terminal:
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /[path to a folder with an alternative java]/bin/java 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.8.0_333/bin/java 1
*make sure to specify the path to the installation folder.
5. Run the following command in Terminal to complete the installation of your new Java version:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
*you should see the Update Alternatives window where you should select the newly added java version (in our example - java 1.8.0_333) as default and hit Enter.
To check whether the system has successfully completed the installation, run the following command:
java -version
