Setup

Raspberry Pi's come with Java pre-installed. If you are using less than version 11, it is recommended you run a distribution upgrade on your Pi.

sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo apt clean
sudo reboot

The following will install the pi4j library that Java will use to interface with your Raspberry Pi hardware controls such as the GPIO.

curl -ssl https://pi4j.com/install | sudo bash
