usually this is an executable first make it executable $ chmod +x home/john/Desktop/j2re-1_3_1_16-linux-i586.bin and afterwards start it and follow the instructions $ ./home/john/Desktop/j2re-1_3_1_16-linux-i586.bin this should work. but because ubuntu is based on debian, you could use the "debian way" to install java (checkout package java-package). but i am not so sure if this works on ubuntu. hth, gottfried
