I also get that same error when I run "java -v", it's just that '-v' is an invalid argument, the correct flag is '-version' (assuming that's what you intended):
$ java -v Unrecognized option: -v Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit. $ java -version java version "1.7.0_21" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_21-b11) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.21-b01, mixed mode) HTH, On 12 December 2014 at 02:22, Kev Lau <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I tried to install Java with Apache Solr the easy way using this tutorial:- > > > https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-solr-on-ubuntu-14-04 > > If you want to install Solr the easy way, you should use this section of > the article.
