How To Download Oracle Java Directly to Server without Clicking Accept
-
If you've ever had to download Oracle's Java products, you are likely aware that you have to go to their web page, in a web browser, click accept to their license terms and then download the product. This, obviously, cannot be done on a server because you need a GUI to do this. A bit of a pain.
There is a way to handle this from the command line. Find the download link that you want to use and use this wget command to prefix it...
wget --header "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie"
So for example, for the latest Java 9 download, this is the full command to run from your server's command line:
wget --header "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/9+181/jdk-9_linux-x64_bin.rpm
There you go, handle CLI based Oracle Java downloads.
