Install Adoptium Temurin OpenJDK Binaries via deb installer pkg repo

Eclipse Adoptium provides prebuilt OpenJDK binaries from a fully open source set of build scripts and infrastructure. This is useful for the development and usage of certain Java applications. The Adoptium DEB installer package allows you to do this on Devuan and derivative distributions, with slight modification.

ℹ️ IMPORTANT
The following name schemas are being used for this example:

temurin-<version>-jdk
e.g.: temurin-8-jdk

https://packages.adoptium.net/artifactory/deb <distribution-release> main
e.g.: https://packages.adoptium.net/artifactory/deb trixie main

## Steps

### Prerequisites

    Login as superuser—initializing a full login environment:

su -

    Ensure the necessary packages are present:

apt install -y wget apt-transport-https gpg

    Download the Eclipse Adoptium GPG key:

wget -qO - https://packages.adoptium.net/artifactory/api/gpg/key/public | gpg --dearmor | tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/adoptium.gpg > /dev/null

   

### Configure the Eclipse Adoptium apt repository

   

⚠️ WARNING
In the case of Devuan's distribution releases, the user has to replace <distribution-release> with the Debian release equivalent. Check Adoptium's full list of supported distribution releases for comparison.

An interesting example might include someone on Devuan Ceres (indev, unstable), which doesn't have an equivalent release in Adoptium's repository. The example below defaults the most up-to-date stable release on Debian that Adoptium supports (Trixie):

echo "deb https://packages.adoptium.net/artifactory/deb trixie main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/adoptium.list

    Create the adoptium.list file, with the proper repository information for the package manager (apt) to source from:

echo "deb https://packages.adoptium.net/artifactory/deb <distribution-release> main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/adoptium.list

    Update apt's repositories:

apt update

   

### Installation

Install the Temurin version required:

apt install temurin-<version>-jdk
