[felldownstairs]

Hello,
So I have recently got a VPS and when I am trying to install java it says that the command yum is not found. Please can you help me install YUM, or install java a differant way. Thanks.

Mhh, I'm not sure then. My best suggestion would be to follow a guide like this or one relevant to the version of Linux you're running if you can find it.

Try following the "Step One—Install the Requirements" section of that article. If that doesn't work then I'm not really sure.

Ye theres no package called default-jdk.

Try using apt instead of yum.
