[Tutorial] Installing Java on a Synology ARMv5 or PPC NAS

[simoncn]

The screenshots show that you have uploaded a TAR file to the Synology. The patters installer requires the original .tar.gz file.

When you download a .tar.gz file using Safari on a Mac, it is automatically extracted to a .tar file by default. You can override this and save it as a .tar.gz file by using Alt-click or Ctrl-click to do the download. Before you do this, drag the incorrect .tar version to the Trash. When the download is complete, check that the downloaded file is named ejdk-8u51-linux-arm-sflt.tar.gz.

Before you upload this .tar.gz file to the Synology using File Station, delete the .tar file that is in the public folder and also delete the ejdk1.8.0_51 folder. After the upload, File Station should show that the public folder contains a file named ejdk-8u51-linux-arm-sflt.tar.gz.
