Installing Microsoft's build of OpenJDK in Arch Linux

kesarling · 2021-08-13 15:18:59

These are the exact steps I followed:

```sh
<already in my AUR_Programs folder>
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/jdk11-msopenjdk-bin.git
cd "jdk11-msopenjdk-bin"
makepkg -si
<y on the install prompt>
```

After these steps it said "installed successfully"

----------

However, even after restarting the shell (and my machine), it says no java installed.
Where have I gone wrong?

What does this mean?

What's the output of...

archlinux-java status
