Java is a programming language. Not only large, serious, stand-alone applications, but also small programs called "applets" can be written in it that are meant to be run inside a browser. For download, see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html - you most probably need the latest JRE (not JDK!) of Java SE. To see what version you have, launch the java -version command. For more information, as always, see Wikipedia.

You just search on google the latest version of Java software then you can install there easily and if your Java is already updated then installation will be canceled.
