Java is typically installed in /usr/java locate the version you have and then do the following:
Assuming you are using bash (if you are just starting off, i recommend bash over other shells) you can simply type in bash to start it.
Edit your ~/.bashrc file and add the paths as follows:
for eg. vi ~/.bashrc
insert following lines:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/<your version of java>
export PATH=${PATH}:${JAVA_HOME}/bin
after you save the changes, exit and restart your bash or just type in bash to start a new shell
Type in export to ensure paths are right.
Type in java -version to ensure Java is accessible.
