I’ve tried every link on Java.com/
{{Linux RPM (self-extracting file) file size: 19.7 MB
Linux (self-extracting file) file size: 20.2 MB
Linux x64 * file size: 19.6 MB
Linux x64 RPM * file size: 189.1 MB}}
all these links on the website takes me to a box that tells me to save the file. So I save it. Then it downloads. Next it says download complete. Heres the weird part I click open and a box comes up titled "Launch Application" it only thing I can click is a button that say "Choose an Application" so I click it… And I don’t know what Application to open it with.
