Zulu Ubuntu 18.04 Installation

Setup, Configuration and Use Installation
1

Hello,
I’m trying to install Zulu java platform on Ubuntu 18.04 since it is recommended by documentation. So I downloaded, unziped and changed path variable, but it looks like it is not recognized. When i go for
$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
it lists only openjdk 8 and 11 versions, and there is no Zulu.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Did you install OH manually or via apt-get?

Hi,
I did not install openhab yet. I have downloaded tar.gz Zulu installation file if you meant on this.

Zulu is not listed so I recommend trying to reinstall it, or make sure the path is correct, as the command used should show all versions of java.

Also see this link for help with installing Zulu.

Just for Ubuntu with video.

And how to set the default java version.
