As with Linux, you can pretty much install Java anywhere on a Mac. You just need to make sure that you add the Java executable to the path or create a symbolic link to the java executable and put it in the / usr / bin / directory so that it can run anywhere.

To add Java to the path:

1) Change .bash_profilefound in your home director.

2) : export PATH=/yourjavadir/bin:$PATH

3)

4) source .bash_profile, . .

:

ln -s /yourjavadir/java /usr/bin/java

  1. Unlink the existing Java soft link (this will require root / elevated privileges) root$ unlink /usr/bin/java

  2. Create a symlink to a new Java installation root$ ln -s /Users/myuser/Documents/jre1.8.0_25.jre/Contents/Home/bin/java /usr/bin/java

Here it is. After that, life is beautiful. Hope this helps!

If you just need the JRE / Java Runtime Edition, then the previous answers are correct, but if you need the JRE and JDK (Java Development Kit), just follow the link below and select mac and run dmg, and this is much better, and certainly plain.
