Hi all I want to install a java application on a Fedora 32-bit. My question is do I have to install somekind of server side software in order to have my Java software worked on the server?. Thanks in advance.

Is this just an application or is it a web application. You'll need a Java JDK (see this page for downloads for multiple O/S's) in either case. If you have a web application you'll also need an application server like Tomcat.

He wouldn't necessarily need the JDK. For a standard app, the JRE would suffice (assuming that this is indeed an app, and not a servlet or site). Be careful that you don't cause any problems if you have the GNU java compiler on board; I've had to rescue many client systems from botched gnu+sun VM jobs. A quick grep of yum list for gcj will reveal the state of affairs

Excellent point. If he has a precompiled application a JRE would be fine. GJC should be dumped on any system you have. I have never had anything but problems with it. Another good point!

Thank you all guys. I'll have to install JDK + Tomcat and get rid of the GJC. It would be somekind of a web application for my site and I hope I can figure out how to install those server side software on the server.
