Installing sun-java6-jre on Ubuntu 10.10

 

Today I was trying to install Sun Java JRE.

 

to install sun-java6-jre on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, type the commands below in Terminal:

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"

Code:

sudo apt-get update

Code:

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre

When I ran the first command above I received the following error:

sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found

 

I ended up having to run this command and everything was made better

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
