Install Java 17 on CentOS Stream 8
You can install JAVA 17 on any version of CentOS Linux without any hassle using few commands. Yum has the capability to pull the installer from internet URLS and install any application in couple of commands and steps. Yum command needs some configuration and location from where it will get the installer and install it on Linux machine. The default installation of CentOS Stream 8 comes with baseOS URLs which might not work for some users (I don’t know the reason). All you need to do is to modify those files and add updated baseOS user to install Java 17 on CentOS stream 8. Follow under given instructions to modify the files and then run the yum commands to install Java 17 on CentOS Stream 8
Open your CentOS-Linux-AppStream.repo and CentOS-Linux-BaseOS.repo files in vim (because I love it).
Change directory and move to /etc/yum.repos.d/ so that the appropriate files can be modified.
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
Edit CentOS-Base.repo file
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
Comment out the baseurl line with hash sign or you can remove it (Better safe than sorry).
CentOS-Linux-BaseOS.repo
#baseurl=http://mirrors.linode.com/$contentdir/$releasever/BaseOS/$basearch/os/
add under given line in the file
CentOS-Linux-BaseOS.repo
baseurl=http://vault.centos.org/$contentdir/$releasever/BaseOS/$basearch/os/
Press escape, save and exit the file by using under given parameters (vi editor)
:wq!
Edit CentOS-Linux-AppStream.repo file
Follow the same instructions to open and edit the file like given above.
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-AppStream.repo
CentOS-Linux-AppStream.repo
#baseurl=http://mirrors.linode.com/$contentdir/$releasever/AppStream/$basearch/os/
Comment out the baseurl line with hash sign or you can remove it (Better safe than sorry).
CentOS-Linux-AppStream.repo
baseurl=http://vault.centos.org/$contentdir/$releasever/AppStream/$basearch/os/
Press escape, save and exit the file by using under given parameters (vi editor)
:wq!
Run yum update again.
Now run under given command to install Java 17:
sudo yum install java-17-openjdk
I hope this article will help install Java 17 without any problem.
