Autopsy Does Not Install on Linux: Oracle Java 8 Discontinued #4744

Open jiservin opened 5 years ago

jiservin commented 5 years ago

I have already successfully installed Autopsy 4.10 on Ubuntu 18.0 back in February and I wanted to do it again on Ubuntu 18.0 but I cannot add the repository due to Oracle Java 8 PPA being discontinued. Now that I updated my original Ubuntu, I can no longer use Autopsy. I use this for school so if there can a patch soon, that will be awesome. I looked everywhere on the Autopsy website for the bug tracker but it would send me to a page that no longer exists; just so whoever reads this knows.

Have you tried a manual installation instead? https://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp

mfrade commented 5 years ago

You can try my install script: https://github.com/labcif/oracle-java-installer

You don't need (or want, apparently) the Oracle version. You can still get it, but I suggest OpenJDK.

Debian-like distribution with apt package manager?

Java Runtime Environment sudo apt install openjdk-8-jre or Java Development Kit sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk

RedHat-like distribution with yum package manager?

Java Runtime Environment su -c "yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk" Java Development Kit su -c "yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel"

Sorry, we should go back through and update these stories. We updated the docs for getting it working with OpenJDK and OpenJFX.

You can find the latest instructions in Running_Linux_OSX:

tjt263 commented 5 years ago

@bcarrier Yeah, the instructions suck. Sorry. Spent the day rewriting it. I'll send it through when it's done.

In the meantime, the Download Autopsy page says:

• Linux will need The Sleuth Kit Java .deb Debian package

That URL returns a HTTP 404: Not Found. Where is sleuthkit-java_4.6.7-1_amd64.deb (or anything >4.6.0) available?

bcarrier commented 5 years ago

Yea, the link is wrong. I need to get that updated. It should go to:

https://github.com/sleuthkit/sleuthkit/releases/download/sleuthkit-4.7.0/sleuthkit-java_4.7.0-1_amd64.deb

Also, although this pull request was never merged and is now out of date regarding specific versions, I was able to get things working here without Oracle Java by using Amazon Corretto 8. If there is still interest, I can rework the pull request to be current and/or update the Running_Linux_OSX.txt. For what it's worth, I'm building Autopsy in an Ubuntu Docker container. @jiservin I wrote up more info here as I also use Autopsy for school. Thanks @bcarrier and all other contributors for some great, open source forensic software.
