See JDK 7 and JRE 7 Installation Guide for general information about installing JDK 7 and JRE 7.

See the Mac OS X Platform Install FAQ for general information about installing JRE 7 on Mac OS X.

Java Runtime Mac free download - Java Runtime Environment (JRE) (64-Bit), GTK+ 2 Runtime Environment, DJ Java Decompiler, and many more programs.
For Java versions 6 and below, Apple supplies their own version of Java. For Mac OS X 10.6 and below, use the Software Update feature (available on the Apple menu) to check that you have the most up-to-date version of Java 6 for your Mac. For issues related to Apple Java 6 on Mac, contact Apple Support.

System Requirements

Any Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X 10.7.3 (Lion) or later.
Administrator privileges.

Note that installing the JRE on a Mac is performed on a system wide basis, for all users, and administrator privileges are required. You cannot install Java for a single user.

I just downloaded Java 7u17 on Mac OS 10.7.5 from here and then successfully installed it. In order to do some JNI programming, I need to know where Java installed on my Mac.

Only one JRE can be installed at a time. The system will not install a JRE that has a lower version than the current version. If you wish to install a lower version of the JRE, first uninstall the current version. Installing a JRE from Oracle will not update java -version symlinks or add java to your path. To be able to do this, you need to install the JDK.

JRE 7 Installation Instructions

The JRE installation includes the JavaFX Runtime which is incorporated into the same directory structure.

Installation of the 64-bit JRE on Mac Platforms

Depending on your processor, the downloaded file has one of the following names:

Where <version> is 6 or later.

1. Download the file. Before the file can be downloaded, you must accept the license agreement.

After the software is installed, delete the dmg file if you want to save disk space.

Determining the Installed Version of the JRE

If you have not yet installed Apple's Java Mac OS X 2012-006 update, then you are still using a version of Apple Java 6 that includes the plug-in and the Java Preferences app. See Note for Users of Macs that Include Apple Java 6 Plug-in.

Only one JRE can be installed. Installing a JRE removes the previously installed JRE. The JRE version used by the system can be determined in one of two ways:

From System Preferences click the Java icon from the Other category. This launches the Java Control Panel. Click About....
Type the following in a Terminal window:

The system will not install a JRE that has a lower version than the current version. If you want to install a lower version, first uninstall the existing version.
