# Build with default settings (Java 11 JVM, amd64 architecture, Version 22.1.0)
./build
# Build with specific settings (Java 17 JVM, aarch64 architecture, Version 21.0.0)
JVM_VERSION=17 ARCHITECTURE=aarch64 GRAALVM_VERSION=21.0.0 ./build
sudo dpkg -i {graalvm-deb-path}
For the installation includes .jinfo
file, you can set the primary jre/sdk installation among the installed alternatives. This command sets all jre/jdk related binaries (java
, javac
, javah
, etc.) to point the ones in the specified jre/jdk installation at once.
# This command sets java, javac, javah, ... to point the ones in the graalvm (java8) installation
update-java-alternatives --set /usr/lib/jvm/graalvm-ce-java8
If fzf is installed on your system, you can select the primary installation interactively with the following command:
update-java-alternatives --list | awk '{print $1}' | fzf | xargs sudo update-java-alternatives --set
Note: update-java-alternatives
only updates jre/jvm related alternatives; non-jvm binaries like js
, npm
or gu
are not updated.
This package depends on ca-certificates-java
which depends on a Java runtime.
GraalVM Java can be installed without a prior Java installation by doing following:
# Unpack package but don't configure it
dpkg --unpack graalvm-ce-<VERSION>.deb
# Install package dependencies. GraalVM package will be configured once its dependencies are installed
apt-get install ca-certificates-java java-common libnss3 libnspr4 libsqlite3-0
