Install webstorm but no jdk found on ubuntu 14.04LTS

I am trying to install webstorm, but when I try to run the *.sh file it gives me error of not having java environment available.

So I tried to look into the official documentation

But the steps to install the jdk didn't worked. I tried to locate java folder, but couldn't locate this directory /usr/bin/java

Please guide me how I can install webstorm now?

You should just install a JRE (to allow Java execution programs) and not a JDK (to develop Java programs).

No need a JDK to allow Webstorm to lauch.

On ubuntu : apt-get install default-jre

Have a nice day :)

I had a similar problem, during installation of eclipse (openjdk-7-jdk was required). I used

> sudo apt-get update
> sudo apt-get install ...

and it worked.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

I haven't tried with java-8. Then: 

sudo update-alternatives --java

And set auto-mode or java-7 (You might try with java-8)

First check the about java version

java -version

if its not returning you need to check your installed jdk

go to 

cd /usr/lib/jvm

if you are finding something which start with java_XXXX

it means this is the only your jdk, and you can set JAVA_HOME as well path till bin folder by using export

Java generally installs in /usr/lib/jvm/java-[major version]-openjdk-[arch]. Install a package such as openjdk-7-jdk and check in that location.

If you already have java installed, running which java will tell you the path of the java executable.
