Workaround for /usr/lib/jvm/java-13-openjdk-amd64 Permission denied
This kind of problem happens when your JAVA_HOME is misconfigured in your system. In our case, we just have to replace the line
JAVA_HOME= "/usr/lib/jvm/java-13-openjdk-amd64"
by this one
JAVA_HOME=usr/lib/jvm/java-13-openjdk-amd64
If you still don't see the difference, no worries. The difference is that:
- The space between '=' and 'usr/lib … ' should be avoided.
- There is no claw in the second line.
In short, these details are important to take into account if you directly modify the file containing JAVA_HOME. My preferred way to do this is to run setup in the terminal.
Specifically, you need to run the following command:
export JAVA_HOME=usr/lib/jvm/java-13-openjdk-amd64
Now that it's done, you can check if your order is taken into account by running:
echo $ JAVA_HOME
You will need to find the following line in response
usr/lib/jvm/java-13-openjdk-amd64
The error should disappear if your JAVA_HOME is well configured.
Conclusion
I hope this troubleshooting was helpful to you. You may be interested in:
