Environment

CS Student Linux Server

Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
Python 3.10.12 (Default on Linux Server)
java 21.0.4
Apache Maven 3.9.5

Issues while setting up

• The linux server by default comes w/ Java 11 which is out of date for building (ran into this issue and had to change $PATH)
• Also had to run ulimit -t unlimited to give unlimited CPU time

It could be worth re-opening this issue and adding to the documentation how to update java + maven

hi @npjd can you share how you upgraded Java on the student linux server?

For upgrading Java to version 21

1. First download the OpenJDK 21 tarball
   wget https://download.oracle.com/java/21/archive/jdk-21.0.3_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz
2. Extract the tarball to java home folder

mkdir -p ~/java
tar -xzf jdk-21.0.3_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz-C ~/java

3. Update $PATH and $JAVA_PATH in ~/.bashrc
   Your ~/.bashrc should have a $JAVA_HOME and updated $PATH

export JAVA_HOME=~/java/jdk-21.0.3
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

4. Run source ~/.bashrc to update changes. Run java --version to verify everything

Extra, something I did is setup my ~/.bash_profile so everytime I SSH in so there's no need to run source ~/.bashrc

npourjaf@ubuntu2204-014:~$ cat ~/.bash_profile
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
    . ~/.bashrc
fi

Updating Maven is very similar

1. Get the tarball
   wget https://downloads.apache.org/maven/maven-3/3.9.5/binaries/apache-maven-3.9.5-bin.tar.gz
2. Extract the tarball

mkdir -p ~/maven
tar -xzf apache-maven-3.9.5-bin.tar.gz -C ~/maven

3. Update $PATH and M2_HOME in ~/.bashrc

npourjaf@ubuntu2204-014:~$ cat ~/.bashrc

export M2_HOME=~/maven/apache-maven-3.9.5
export JAVA_HOME=~/java/jdk-21.0.3 # from previous step
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$M2_HOME/bin:$PATH 

4. source ~/.bashrc to update changes. Run mvn --version to verify changes

I'd be happy to make this more readable + add it to the README
