I found this older post: sudo yum install installs only JRE not JDK - Centos

But when I ran sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel I don't see the jdk installed? I checked;

$ sudo alternatives --config java

There is 1 program that provides 'java'.

Selection Command

* 1 java-1.8.0-openjdk.x86_64 (/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.322.b06-2.el8_5.x86_64/jre/bin/java)

I do devops, not a developer but the devs asked for me to finish the install and get jdk on there, any advice?

Thanks!

CodePudding user response：

The JDK should be installed after installing this package, you can check with:

sudo alternatives --config javac

The JRE is just installed inside the /jre subdirectory.
