How to install MediathekView Version 12: Instructions for Debian 8 Jessie users

[Wikinaut]

Debian 8 users must install openjdk 8 and openjfx to run the MediathekView version 12.

• install openjdk 8

As of 31 July 2015 there is a Java 8 backport. To install it, first add this line at the end of /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://http.debian.net/debian jessie-backports main

Run

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre-headless
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk

If Java 7 was installed previously, you will need to change the main 'java' and 'javac' commands to point to Java 8:

sudo /usr/sbin/update-java-alternatives -s java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64

Check your java version with

java -version

• Install openjfx

sudo apt-get install openjfx
