Java runtime error when trying to install sunspot

I've seen other blogs and questions related to this issue, but none of them seem to help. I am trying to install sunspot with solr, however I keep getting an error when I run the following command:

bundle exec rake sunspot:solr:start

The trace from running the command:

** Invoke sunspot:solr:run (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
** Execute sunspot:solr:run
/home/i7core/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p125/bin/rake: No such file or directory - java -version
rake aborted!
You need a Java Runtime Environment to run the Solr server

My gemfile:

gem 'sunspot_rails', '~> 1.3.0'
gem 'sunspot_solr'

It looks like I don't have a Java runtime, but I have already installed java. Not sure what to do. There have been a few github issues as well and everything seems to work with the latest version, but I still can't get it to work. Please, help.

You need Java JRE installed, like Oracle or OpenJDK version for me. Also, make sure the java executable is in your path the rake task can see.

One quick way to install JRE on Ubuntu:



sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
