Step-by-Step Guide to Install Java Development Environment on a VPS

Setting up a Java development environment on a Virtual Private Server (VPS) allows you to develop and run Java applications remotely. Here is a detailed guide to help you get started.

1. Choose a Suitable VPS Plan

Ensure your VPS supports your preferred OS, such as Ubuntu, CentOS, or Debian. For development purposes, choose a plan with at least 2-4 GB of RAM, adequate CPU power, and sufficient storage (50-100 GB).

2. Connect to Your VPS

SSH Access: Use SSH to connect to your VPS. Open your terminal and enter
ssh username@your_vps_ip

3. Update Your System

Upgrade Packages: Make sure all your system packages are up to date
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y  # For Debian/Ubuntu
sudo yum update -y                      # For CentOS

4. Install Java

Install OpenJDK: OpenJDK is a popular choice for Java development. Install it using your package manager.
sudo apt install openjdk-11-jdk -y  # For Debian/Ubuntu
sudo yum install java-11-openjdk-devel -y  # For CentOS
Verify Installation:
java -version

5. Install an Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

Remote Access IDE: While many developers use local IDEs, you can also install a web-based IDE like Eclipse Che or Theia for remote development.
Example: Installing Eclipse Che:
curl -L -o chectl https://github.com/eclipse/chectl/releases/download/latest/chectl-linux-x64.tar.gz
tar -xvf chectl-linux-x64.tar.gz -C /usr/local/bin
chectl server:start --platform=docker

6. Set Up Your Development Environment

Environment Variables: Set JAVA_HOME and update PATH:
echo 'export JAVA_HOME=$(dirname $(dirname $(readlink -f $(which java))))' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

7. Install Build Tools

Maven: A popular build automation tool for Java.
sudo apt install maven -y  # For Debian/Ubuntu
sudo yum install maven -y  # For CentOS
Gradle: Another build automation tool.
sudo apt install gradle -y  # For Debian/Ubuntu
sudo yum install gradle -y  # For CentOS

8. Set Up Version Control

Git: Install Git for version control.
sudo apt install git -y  # For Debian/Ubuntu
sudo yum install git -y  # For CentOS
Configure Git:
git config --global user.name 'Your Name'
git config --global user.email 'your.email@example.com'

9. Install Application Server

Apache Tomcat: A widely used application server for running Java applications.
sudo apt install tomcat9 -y  # For Debian/Ubuntu
sudo yum install tomcat -y  # For CentOS

10. Deploy Your Java Application

Upload Application: Transfer your .war file to the Tomcat webapps directory.
scp your_application.war username@your_vps_ip:/var/lib/tomcat9/webapps/
Start Tomcat: Ensure Tomcat is running.
sudo systemctl start tomcat9  # For Debian/Ubuntu
sudo systemctl start tomcat  # For CentOS

11. Access Your Application

Web Browser: Open a web browser and navigate to 'http://your_vps_ip:8080/your_application'.
