Hi,

How to install Oracle JDK 8 on Ubuntu?

In this tutorial I will show you how you can install JDK 8 from oracle on Ubuntu? This tutorial is applicable for all versios of ubuntu including 14.04 and 15.10?

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

Set Oracle Java 8 to default Java:

sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-set-default

Check the installed version of Java:

java -version

Here is full output of the process:

deepak1@deepak1-VirtualBox:~$ sudo su
[sudo] password for deepak1: 
root@deepak1-VirtualBox:/home/deepak1# sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
 Oracle Java (JDK) Installer (automatically downloads and installs Oracle JDK7 / JDK8 / JDK9). There are no actual Java files in this PPA.

More info (and Ubuntu installation instructions):
- for Oracle Java 7: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html
- for Oracle Java 8: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/09/install-oracle-java-8-in-ubuntu-via-ppa.html

Debian installation instructions:

- Oracle Java 8: http://www.webupd8.org/2014/03/how-to-install-oracle-java-8-in-debian.html

Important!!! For now, you should continue to use Java 8 because Oracle Java 9 is available as an early access release (it should be released in 2016)! You should only use Oracle Java 9 if you explicitly need it, because it may contain bugs and it might not include the latest security patches! Also, some Java options were removed in JDK9, so you may encounter issues with various Java apps.

Hi,

You can add the JAVA_HOME in system path by:

a) open .bashrc file:

vi ~/.bashrc

b) then add following code at the end of file:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

c) now reload the changes using following command;

source ~/.bashrc

d) To test:

echo $JAVA_HOME
/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle

Thanks
