Hello,
So i am running Yosemite on a Macbook pro 13 inch year 2012
When i try to install java through the build in java installer it stops at 0,1 Mb before complete and after a few minutes it says "Update Failed"
When i download the update through java's website everything goes well and i get the java running verification, But if i write java -version on terminal it says that i am currently running the 1.6.0_65 version
What do i have to do to fix this?
iOS 6.1.2
There is no built-in Java installer in OS X. Java is provided by Oracle. Get the latest version here.
There is a java icon on the system preferences that opens a java window where you can update java, doesnt work
Also i said that nothing happens with that link, i install the latest version and it doesnt work
If you mean the Java icon in the bottom row like this:
That's not an installer. It means someone already installed Java from Oracle. If you click on that icon, it launches the installed version of Java, which has a way to update itself if it's out of date under the Update tab:
This doesn't always work. Get the full installer I linked to above and run that.
None of them work, the other installer goes well everything is fine and on the end i get the java verified page on chrome but if i type java -version on terminal it says that i have 1.6.0_65 version and not an 1.8 one
That means you also have Apple's Java 6 installed. Why it's not reporting both, I don't know, but both are installed and active.
So how to disable apple's java 6 or make the latest override the other one?
Also the /Library/Internet Plugin/ Directory is empty but java says that this is the directory where is stores the files
There are two different Java distributions for end users: one distributed by Apple, and one by Oracle. They don't overlap in function.
The Apple Java runtime (version 6) is needed to run bare jar files and older standalone Java applications. Newer Java applications have the Java runtime built in, and don't depend on Apple's Java.
The Oracle Java runtime (version 8 or later) is a web plugin only. It's used to run Java applets on web pages and Java WebStart applications. You can determine whether it's installed and up to date by looking for a preference pane named Java in System Preferences. If it's present, open it. It will launch the "Java Control Panel." Select the Update tab.

You don't, you need both.
(See Linc's response above)
It says that it is updated but i cannot use it with terminal

That's right, you can't. It's a web plugin only, as I wrote earlier. If you want to develop Java apps, you need the Oracle JDK, not the JRE.
Alright , when i download jdk says no mountable system files , what do i do know?
It's a corrupt download. Try again, and if the same thing happens, refer to Oracle.
