1 . i went to oracle site but i don't understand which Java to choose !

Linux ARM 32 Hard Float ABI 77.71 MB jdk-8u71-linux-arm32-vfp-hflt.tar.gz Linux ARM 64 Hard Float ABI 74.65 MB ----- < 1 > ----jdk-8u71-linux-arm64-vfp-hflt.tar.gz
< 2 >---Linux x86 154.75 MB-----jdk-8u71-linux-i586.rpm
< 3 >---Linux x86 174.91 MB-----jdk-8u71-linux-i586.tar.gz
< 4 >---Linux x64 152.74 MBj-----dk-8u71-linux-x64.rpm
< 5 >Linux x64 172.9 MB-----jdk-8u71-linux-x64.tar.gz

  • You need to know your architecture. If it's 64-bit, it's probably x64. Pick the .tar.gz one. But I believe there are easier ways of installing Java. – Eduardo Cola Jan 24 '16 at 13:25

ARM is not Intel based CPU. It's like Raspberry Pi or Smartphone CPU. *.tar.gz is source code. If you using Intel or AMD choose x64.
