CentOS - Java

[rlm850]

So, stuck on CentOS for the first time attempting to setup a Minecraft server. Java seems to be my problem. All the default startup files on the server I have disabled to kill unneeded used resources and pretty much every plugin besides nano is gone.

I've been searching all morning for resources on how to install java, but I've come up with nothing. If I do, it's some overtyped article about things that don't even matter in the first place.

Is there just one simple command? yum install java?
Which in that case I get

Code: Select all

# yum install java
Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Parsing package install arguments
No Match for argument: java
Nothing to do

Any help is appreciated
