    I have a Java installation and I have only access via bash. How can I check the Java version from command line.

    Hello @ Gabriel9999 - Use the apt command to list installed packages in combination with the grep command to narrow down the list to a specific package.

    sudo apt list --installed | grep -i java

    -OR-

    You can use dpkg in a similar manner.

    sudo dpkg -l | grep -i java
