Hi Sipho,

ORACLE Java is proprietary software and hence not available in Red Hat containers and repositories. :)

Regards,
Christian

Sipho,

Try this from your properly subscribed system. This was my output (scroll down) NOTE: I currently do not have openshift entitlements, so try it on your system. and see what is listed.

Additionally, see https://access.redhat.com/articles/3253281, and especially this https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2018/09/24/the-future-of-java-and-openjdk-updates-without-oracle-support/.

Run the yum search commands on your system to see how this goes. With OpenShift, it might be a little different.

Hi Sipho,

I recommend and suggest that you install OpenJDK (8 and/or 11) as pointed out by RJ in his response above ...
If you really need ORACLE Java, you have to download the binaries from their website and install it manually. :)

Regards,
Christian

Hi Christian

The OpenShift images/containers on RedHat Access does not installation without root permission.

 Error while doing RPMdb copy-up:
[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/rpm/Packages'
You need to be root to perform this command.

Hi Sipho,

That is normal and designed by default for security reasons.
Installations on RHEL systems require elevated privileges. :)

Christian

Make sure to always run yum commands either as root or with sudo (configure sudo prior).

Kind Regards,
