For many developers, installing JRE on their systems has become an essential thing, the kind of thing that you install once and forget about.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  In this article, we\u2019ll tell you what the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is, the steps to install it on Ubuntu 26.04 Desktop, and also how to uninstall\/remove it (in case you change your mind).\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a id=\"post-18105-_14f8gt6kiqd5\"><\/a><strong>What Is JRE?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is a software package that is essential for running Java applications. The JRE comprises the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), class libraries, and other components that are used to execute Java programs.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  The history of the Java Runtime Environment is much older than you might think; its first version was released in January 1996 by Sun Microsystems. Moreover, almost every major operating system, including Windows, Linux, and macOS, supports Java. On top of that, the JRE is free to use and download. That is why it has become widely used by developers globally.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a id=\"post-18105-_u2fuwya82mzk\"><\/a><strong>Steps to Install JRE on Ubuntu 26.04<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  In this section, we\u2019ll go through the steps to install the Java Runtime Environment on Ubuntu\u2019s latest Long Term Support release, Ubuntu 26.04. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  This is the easiest and most convenient method to install the JRE on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a id=\"post-18105-_w55xmbyl90op\"><\/a><strong>Step 1: Update the Package Index<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  To install the Java Runtime Environment, we\u2019ll first update our machine. Updating and upgrading Ubuntu is best practice before installing anything on it. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  Updating Ubuntu is crucial because it refreshes the package lists from the configured repositories, allowing Ubuntu to identify available updates and newly available packages. Basically, it ensures everything is up to date:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><p>\n  $ sudo apt update\n<\/p><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  sudo apt update refreshes the list of available packages and retrieves information about their latest versions from the configured repositories:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1058\" height=\"515\" src=\"http:\/\/greenwebpage.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/word-image-18105-1.png\" alt=\"update packages\" class=\"wp-image-18106\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenwebpage.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/word-image-18105-1.png 1058w, https:\/\/greenwebpage.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/word-image-18105-1-300x146.png 300w, https:\/\/greenwebpage.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/word-image-18105-1-1024x498.png 1024w, https:\/\/greenwebpage.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/word-image-18105-1-768x374.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1058px) 100vw, 1058px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  After updating our system, our Ubuntu 26.04 is ready for installing the Java Runtime Environment. It ensured that our system knows about the newest available packages, their versions, and their dependencies before installing or upgrading software.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a id=\"post-18105-_8dwzuljfv0ql\"><\/a><strong>Step 2: Install the Default JRE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  Moving on, we\u2019ll now install the Java Runtime Environment on our Ubuntu machine. We\u2019ll install the default JRE provided by Ubuntu:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><p>\n  $ sudo apt install default-jre\n<\/p><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  The above command installs the default Java Runtime Environment on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. It provides the essential components to execute Java applications. The <strong>default-jre<\/strong> means that Ubuntu will automatically choose the recommended version of Java for your Ubuntu release:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1067\" height=\"452\" src=\"http:\/\/greenwebpage.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/word-image-18105-2.png\" alt=\"install default JRE\" class=\"wp-image-18107\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenwebpage.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/word-image-18105-2.png 1067w, https:\/\/greenwebpage.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/word-image-18105-2-300x127.png 300w, https:\/\/greenwebpage.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/word-image-18105-2-1024x434.png 1024w, https:\/\/greenwebpage.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/word-image-18105-2-768x325.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1067px) 100vw, 1067px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  After running the install command, the terminal will ask you to continue.

From this, we can also see our version of Java installed:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><p>\n  $ java -version\n<\/p><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  The version command displays the Java version installed on our system.
