Thursday, February 7, 2013

Some applications on Firefox require Java for working. However, you can not install regularly on CentOS. I will show you how to install Java Plugin on CentOS  for Firefox.

Step 1. Download the newest version of Java (Linux RPM).

Step 2. Close the running Firefox browser

Step 3. Add permission for *.bin before installing

chmod a+x filename_rpm.bin 
./filename_rpm.bin

Step 4. add java plugin into Firefox (it depends on your installing directory)

cd .mozilla/plugins
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_24/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so

Restart your Firefox!

Have fun!
