Hello, I've been trying to find a way to install Java via SSH on RasPlex (OpenElec), if possible, with no luck yet. It is one of the first stages to get limelight running on the Pi, I have used Limelight to stream games in Rasbian, which is very simple (Guide [here](http://thematabot.wordpress.com/2014/03/17/a-look-at-limelight-pi-install-and-use/)). I understand Rasbian is the easy option, but I enjoy RasPlex! I would love to be able to connect to SSH and start Limelight Shield Streaming on occasion :)   I haven't got very far with success, I've managed to download "jdk-8u6-linux-arm-vfp-hflt.tar.gz" and extract it to "/storage/java", but no further. I cannot register java with the system, OpenElec is a locked system I've read, how would I install Java on RasPlex? ---

Did you ever get this to happen for you? I just ordered my PI2 and I wan't rasplex on it for sure, but I'd like to get limelight running on it as well. ---

> You cannot install any additional software on Rasplex, the is no apt-get or dpkg or other method of installing. There's no automated way to install additional software. You can always compile the software using the appropriate toolchain and then copy it to the RPi. I did this to get iperf on my RPi. However this method is more suited for developers that understand how to compile software on linux. ---

I've got this working on RasPlex - I'm working on figuring out how to launch back and forth between Plex and Steam in the GUI right now. I have begin creating a guide on how to do this. ---

Hey Krazypoloc, I'd be interested in seeing what you got when you're done with it.  I'm wanting to do something similar, RasPlex for media, limelight for Steam, and then some kind of emulation stuff for old games.  My desired outcome would be a remote friendly launch interface that lets the "user" select RasPlex, Steam, or old games and then be launched into the app for what they choose, when done with the app being used, it could return to the launcher screen, though it'll likely stay on RasPlex more often than not. ---

A bit like Berryboot. ---
