In this blog post, we will install the latest stable version of Java and which is Java 25, on AlmaLinux 10 OS. Java is an object-oriented programming language that comes in three different editions. The main editions are Java SE (Standard Edition) for general-purpose applications, Java EE (Enterprise Edition) for large-scale enterprise applications, and Java ME (Micro Edition) for mobile and embedded devices. Java has also different packages to choose from: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and Java Development Kit (JDK). The JDK includes JRE, and there are two different implementations of JDK, OpenJDK and Oracle Java. In this tutorial, we will cover these two.
Installing Java 25 on AlmaLinux 10 is a straightforward process that may take up to 10 minutes, depending on whether we are installing from the default AlmaLinux 10 repository or building from a source file. Let’s learn both ways!
