How do you install the java runtime environment

I'm having trouble installing the java runtime environment on my friends computer, do i have to set parameters after i install it, I have never done this before could someone walk me through it??

I would suggest reading the readme file that comes with the JRE and buying a good introductory book to Java.

I keep getting this pop up - To view this web content, you need to install the Java Runtime Environment. How do I get rid of it.

Most likely, you have a web plugin that depends on the Java runtime distributed by Apple, such as the Facebook video calling plugin or the "NexDef" plugin for watching baseball streams. If you no longer need the plugin, remove it. Otherwise, install Java.

HT202912 I get the message "To view this web content, you need to install the Java Runtime Environment" Do I need two versions as this article suggests?

I just upgraded to Yosemite on my 2010 MacBook Pro. When I reboot I get the message "To view this web content, you need to install the Java Runtime Environment" and I've also seen the same pop-up once while running OpenOffice. And now while composing this post.
Yes - I followed the link and installed the Oracle version of Java, version 8, and the test page confirms that I have the current version running.
I read some threads on discussions.apple.com but didn't like the answers.
I found this: http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac-software/advanced-tips-for-mac-os-x-yosemit e-3582877/
and tip # 10 seems to answer my question.
Anyone else have experience on this?

I keep getting this message.To view this web content, you need to install the Java Runtime Environment.

Every few minutes the message comes up on my screen. To view this web content, you need to install the Java Runtime Environment. Is the new iOS running with java. if not how do i stop messages?

Troubleshooting:
I have since unchecked the option Enable Java content on the browser in System Preferences > Java > Security - I will report back if the prompt still reappears, but I think it should be gone now.
Follow up:
I have since sent a feedback to Apple and I recommend you guys send it too, more people reporting will get Apple's attention on the issue.
Issue:
For me, this issue started after updating to Yosemite, I keep getting a prompt window on Chrome 38.0.2125.122 with a message "To view this web content you need to install the Java Runtime Environment, but I do have Java installed."

I am sorry to ask this but for some reason the search feature won't work so that I can find the answer that has been posted to this question. So I guess there are two problem. I type in the question and I see that there are solutions to view but my computer won't go to the answer. I am just going to re-ask.

Apple Java 2014-001

Os x yosmite shows this message at startup: To view this web content, you need to install the Java Runtime Environment.

so I've just downloaded and installed OS X 10.10 YOSEMITE on my mac this morning and I find the design refreshing, however when I do a reboot of my mac this popup message always shows up: To view this web content, you need to install the Java Runtime Environment. here's a screen shot of it
it is really annoying, and quite bothering on my part. I tried clicking the "more info..." tab as instructed by the popup/ notification, which led me to the webpage of java, and this is a screenshot of what I got
so I've downloaded the .dmg file of the Java 8 update and installed it on my computer, did a check on my safari browser settings to see if the Java plugin is activated and, it is. Hoping that that the trick I rebooted my mac again and voila! the same popup appears again. I hope you could help me on this one guys, any suggestions for a quick fix would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Here are the specs of my mac:

This is a user forum. Apple probably monitor it but they are not on here answering questions.
Not sure what you mean about the hidden information-i mean cheese how much info is 'gleaned' across the net and its nothing to do with the OS and don't get me started on the behaviour of some OSs!. You can set your machine to not give feedback to Apple.
Not sure what does not convince you in what Casey Rey said-its a fact there is a download. Download it don't download it ,what is you want Apple to explain? They made a decision not put JRE on OS X by default -i think there might be some licensing thing about it with Oracle going on. If you need it you need it if you don't you don't. Its like saying you wont install MS Office unless they explain why thats not on the machine by default.
Who sold you the machine with the faulty screen? Apple on line? The Apple store? An Apple Dealer? How long have you had it? If i buy a Ferrari with a dent in the door and i knew it had a dent in the door it would be funny to say 'when this Ferrari breaks i am switching back to Porsche because they don't have dents in the door'

I keep getting a pop-up saying "To view this web content, you need to install the Java Runtime Environment. Click 'more info...' to visit the website...(and so on)". I have done what it asks but the pop-up keeps popping up. What do I do?

..i just migrate to yosemite and everytime i open safari this massage appear .......To view this web content, you need to install the Java Runtime Environment. do i need to install java .???? please someone help.

Safari 8 error: "...you need to install the Java Runtime Environment"

Ever since upgrading to Yosemite and Safari 8, I continually get the error "To view this web content, you need to install the Java Runtime Environment" and, although I did do so the first time I got the error, and Java tells me I do have the latest version installed and running, I continue to get this error constantly.
Is there a way to stop this, or at least find out what content is causing it? I can't put my finger on any particular content that causes the error.

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It makes no changes to your data.
Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
java -version
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
If the Apple Java runtime is installed and up to date, you should get three lines of output below what you entered, the first of which is this:
java version "1.6.0_65"
Is that what you get? You can then quit Terminal.

Safari keeps telling me I need to install the Java Runtime Environment

After "upgrading" to Yosemite, I keep getting a pop-up window that says "To view this content, you need to install the Java Runtime Environment." I followed the link to install the latest version of Java, but keep getting the warning. It even pops up when there are no Safari windows open. I've turned Java off and still get it. It's annoying because I have to clear the window to continue surfing and it crashes Safari when I'm watching a video full-screen.
Any ideas?

Most likely, you have either the Facebook video calling plugin or the "NexDef" plugin for watching baseball streams. Both depend on the Java runtime distributed by Apple. If you no longer need the plugin, remove it. Otherwise, install Java.

Does the java 1.4.2 sdk install the Java Runtime Environment twice?

I just installed this and I noticed that it appears I have two copies of the JRE one in C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2 and one in C:\j2sdk1.4.2\jre\
The contents of both folders look identical to me. Did the SDK install two copies? Did one copy come with Windows XP or Service Pack 1? In Add/Remove Programs there is one entry for the Java Runtime Environment and one for the SDK. I'd like to get rid of one of the copies of the JRE if possible. Thanks,
Ollie

The copy in Program Files is likely the Java plug-in used with your web browser. I only have 1.3.1 installed so I can't positively confirm your 1.4 installation. Under Control Panels, you should have a Java Plug-in control.

I am trying to install the "Java Runtime Environment" plugin. It is continuously showing as not available. What can I do to get round this?

I am asked to install this update by an educational website.
The sequence of events is:
1. Message appears at interactive site on page "A plugin is needed to display this content." along with an Install Plugin button.
2.Pressing the install button brings up a dialogue box, "Plugin Finder Service" with "Java Runtime Environment" ticked.
3. I press "Next" to install. New dialogue box comes up showing "Java Runtime Environment" as "Not available" and states that no plugins were installed.
4. The only availablre option "finish," closes the dialogue box.
I have tried following instructions in help but these always bring me back to the same process. I have downloaded the most recent Java software and nothing has changed.
Any ideas to successfully install "Java Runtime Environment." Maybe there's a successor plug-in.
All help gratefully received.
Thanks,
Andrew Bramley

Hello Andrew, try download [https://www.java.com/en/download/faq/whatis_java.xml Java Runtime Environment (JRE)] from the next link : https://www.java.com/en/download/ . If you can not then try the manual way from the next link : https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp (select the Windows Offline, filesize: 28.0 MB). In.... general, try to use the official sites when you install Java or flash etc.
thank you

The Java Runtime environment is deactivated so I can't play games on Yahoo; how to fix?

The Java Runtime environment can be downloaded at cnet dot com and at other websites. It is necessary to install the Java Runtime Environment in order to play games provided in the Yahoo Games area. It worked fine until I upgraded; now it won't work. Not sure how to enable it, that is, if it is possible to simply enable it.

You do not appear to have Java installed.
#You can look in Add-ons > Plugins to see if you have something similar to '''''Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U25 6.0.250.6''''' (the numerals may be different). If you do, click on it; if it shows a button "Enable", click on the "Enable" button. If you do not see '''''Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U25 6.0.250.6''''', skip steps 2 and 3 below, then follow the instructions below to download and install Java.
#Then press the '''''Windows logo key+R''''', the Run dialog box will open. Enter javacpl.cpl in the box and click OK.

Hello. I am using OS X v.10.8.2. Reinstalled Java 1.6.0_37 from Apple Inc. after uninstalling Java7. However, "you need to download the java runtime environment" continues to appear. What should I do?
Java Test indicates that Java 6 is running well on my Mac. But when trying to run online applications the mentioned error message appears.
Thanks for your help!

Hi, Thanks for that further bug description In Your Last Message That Describes The Problem I Am Having perfectly and is exactly the same for me.
unfortunately that fix for my camera Powershot G6 does not work or apply as the view pictures switch is different on G6 is not usable during download as once you plug in DC/USB cable it turns off, and makes no diff and problem still exists exactly as you just described.
thanks anyways "Selz Boy"
it has been 17 days since apple promised to get back to me within 3-5 days hopefully with a solution, but I have still not heard from them.
They blew me off, i guess, probably i will have to wait for new Yosemite OS update, which they pre-warned me could take as much as 6 months.
I cannot believe apple released this new update with such major bug issues for camera downloads and that horrible "Photos" pgm which has all sorts of downgrades in features, usefulness and new bugs compared to iPhotos which I just finally got used to and was much better software.
I am starting to lose faith in Apple and I am getting that Microsoft "FEEL" like I used to have when I was a PC user, which was why I originally switched to Apple computers in first place.
Oh well got my fingers crossed here.
Thankfully the memory card reader solution is working well, but cost me $45.
