Pretty simple. Download Java JDK 6 Update 10 from here (probably the .rpm.bin is the best one):

[http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp](http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp)

do a chmod to make give it execute privs:

```auto
chmod +x [filename].rpm.bin

```

run the installer:

```auto
./[filename].rpm.bin

```

That is it. You should be able to execute the java command to see if it the correct version:

```auto
java -version

```

If not follow these instructions:
