Tekkit Install notes for\u00a0 CentOS\u00a0 – Not a blog, just notes for my friends.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tekkit as of Jan 2013 requires java 1.7 JDK.<\/p>\n

Check the version of java you have.<\/p>\n

First locate the binary (Executable)<\/p>\n

[root@vps minecraft]# find \/usr -name java
\n\/usr\/share\/java
\n\/usr\/bin\/java
\n\/usr\/lib\/java
\n\/usr\/lib\/jvm\/java
\n\/usr\/lib\/jvm\/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0\/bin\/java
\n\/usr\/lib\/jvm\/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0\/jre\/bin\/java
\n\/usr\/lib\/jvm-exports\/java
\n[root@vps minecraft]#<\/p>\n

use java -version <\/strong>with the fully qualified path in front of it to determine the version.\u00a0 As you can see by the paths they look to all be java-1.6<\/p>\n

We will need to install java-1.7<\/p>\n

Using YUM we need to search for the correct version.<\/p>\n

[root@vps minecraft]# yum search java-1.7
\nLoaded plugins: fastestmirror
\nLoading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
\n* base: mirror.ovh.net
\n* extras: mirror.ovh.net
\n* updates: mirror.ovh.net
\n========================================== Matched: java-1.7 ===========================================
\njava-1.7.0-openjdk.i386 : OpenJDK Runtime Environment<\/strong>
\njava-1.7.0-openjdk-demo.i386 : OpenJDK Demos

\njava-1.7.0-openjdk-javadoc.i386 : OpenJDK API Documentation
\njava-1.7.0-openjdk-src.i386 : OpenJDK Source Bundle<\/p>\n

Now that we know the package name we need to do the YUM install.<\/p>\n

[root@vps minecraft]# yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk.i386

Log out as root and login as the new user (minecraft) or switch users using the SU command<\/p>\n

su – minecraft<\/p>\n
