I switched to linux (Ubuntu 12.04) this morning and find it great but messed up while installing java. :-(.

I have installed jdk6.0_6 successfully but when I run java command in terminal, I get this

 ravi@ravi-LIFEBOOK-AH531:~$ java
The program 'java' can be found in the following packages:
 * default-jre
 * gcj-4.6-jre-headless
 * openjdk-6-jre-headless
 * gcj-4.5-jre-headless
 * openjdk-7-jre-headless
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>

Could someone help me with this?

Below are the steps that I followed to install:

  1. copied file named jdk-6u6-linux-x64.bin to my documents
  2. from terminal executed chmod a+x jdk-6u6-linux-x64.bin
  3. and then executed sudo ./jdk-6u6-linux-x64.bin
  4. In terminal I accepted the license agreement and done.
