Installing Java On Ubuntu Server [closed]

Question

Does anyone know the process to install java on Ubuntu?

I have my server set up with Amazon in the cloud.

I am looking to run some java servers on my server and quickly came to notice that I needed to install java.

Can someone point me in the right direction with some steps?

I have looked at some websites but in the command line when I enter sudo nano /etc/apt/source.list the file is a new file... I have read there is supposed to be an existing file. Correct?

Thanks in advance. :)

If you have terminal access, depending on the version of Java, you're looking for, it would be something like this.

sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre
