Install Oracle Java 7 in Elementary OS ‘Luna’ Via PPA
================================================================================
**Question**: How can I install Oracle Java 7 in Elemetary OS Luna?

**Answer**: To install Java 7 in Elementary OS Luna follow the steps below:

Since Elementary OS is Ubuntu based we are at liberty to use **WEPUD8 PPA** which has various Java packages in it.

1. Open Terminal.

2. Run the command below to add Java PPA to your repository:

    $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java

    You are about to add the following PPA to your system:
    Oracle Java (JDK) Installer (automatically downloads and installs Oracle JDK6 / JDK7 / JDK8). There are no actual Java files in this PPA. More info: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html
    Debian installation instructions: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/06/how-to-install-oracle-java-7-in-debian.html
    More info: https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/java
    Press [ENTER] to continue or ctrl-c to cancel adding it

3. Press ENTER to continue

    gpg: keyring `/tmp/tmpB5WwDG/secring.gpg' created
    gpg: keyring `/tmp/tmpB5WwDG/pubring.gpg' created
    gpg: requesting key EEA14886 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
    gpg: /tmp/tmpB5WwDG/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created
    gpg: key EEA14886: public key "Launchpad VLC" imported
    gpg: Total number processed: 1
    gpg: imported: 1 (RSA: 1)
    OK

4. Now update your system

    $ sudo apt-get update

5. Install Java 7 by running the command below:

    $ sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

    [sudo] password for enock:
