How may I install the right Java Virtual Machine?

Question

I receive following error in terminal:

No suitable Java Virtual Machine could be found on your system.
The version of the JVM must be at least 1.5.
Please define INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME to point to a suitable JVM.
You can also try to delete the JVM cache file

I'm using 14.04.

Solution

Just install the latest version of Java by opening a Terminal (CTRL + ALT + T) and running

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre

Unfortunately I now receive an error from my .sh installer: testing JVM in /usr ... Starting Installer ...

Try running the script with root privileges. Just add sudo in front of the ./

I guess a restart did it. I could start it up, but can't open a file with the software.
