Unfortunately, java installations can be pretty counter-intuitive. If you do this, "ls -l /usr/bin/java" you will find that it points to somewhere else, such as /etc/alternatives, or /usr/java/... - where depends upon the operating system and version. When you install a new Java version, it doesn't necessarily get linked to the defaults in /usr/bin. This is because you can have multiple java versions installed at any time. I know about all of this because I am a senior engineer in a major software organization that uses java extensively, and a number of versions...0

Linux has various distro with different file maintaining procedure though almost all core architecture is same. Plz clarify the os version and flavor. Also java means, r u trying to install Java(JDK) / Jre(runtime) on ur system. Remember, more specific details help u to get more correct /nearby answers.0

Depending on what Linux distro you are using, you should be able to find a how-to in that particular distros wiki. Some distros like Fedora have 3rd party utilities like AutoPlus that with one click will do the whole installation for you. Give us some more info if you want better answers. Installing Java is not something that can be explained generically.
Here's a couple of links that may help:
https://www.java.com/en/download/help/linux_install.xml#selfextracting
https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp#lin (I assume you've seen this since you say you're on step 3)
BTW - Step 3 of what how-to? If it's the how-to in the first link I gave you let us know.0
