You can install Java on Ubuntu 12.04 by doing the following:

1) Download the file jre-7u51-linux-i586.tar.gz from this page.

2) Unpack this to an empty directory. For example, on my machine I used the commands:

mkdir /sd1/java
cd /sd1/java
tar xf <download-path>/jre-7u51-linux-i586.tar.gz

where <download-path> is the path to the downloaded file from step 1)

3) Enter the command:

sudo ln -s /sd1/java/jdk1.7.0_51/bin/java /usr/local/bin

with /sd1/java replaced by the directory that you created in step 2)

4) Check it's working by entering the command:

java -version

If this is working, you should be able to install MinimWatch by following the instructions in this section.
