How to Install JAVA 8 on Ubuntu 18.04/16.04, Linux Mint 19/18

Written by , Updated on May 2, 2019
JAVA , , , , , , ,

There are two standard types of installation available are JDK and JRE. JDK (Java Development Kit) provides the ability to develop a new Java application, which includes Java compiler. JRE (Java Runtime Environment) provides the runtime environment for any Java application with applets. The Java developers required to install JDK and JRE both on their system to create new Java Applications.

IMPORTANT: Java 8 is no longer available to download publically. You can use below link to install Java 11.

Use this tutorial to Install Oracle Java 8 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, 16.04 LTS, 14.04 LTS and LinuxMint 19, 18 using PPA. Follow the below steps to Install Oracle Java 8 on Ubuntu command line.

Step 1 – Install Oracle Java 8 on Ubuntu

You need to enable additional repository to your system to install Java 8 on Ubuntu VPS. After that install Oracle Java 8 on an Ubuntu system using apt-get. This repository contains a package named oracle-java8-installer, Which is not an actual Java package. Instead of that, this package contains a script to install Java on Ubuntu.

Run below commands to install Java 8 on Ubuntu and LinuxMint.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

Step 2 – Verify Java Inatallation

The apt repository also provides package oracle-java8-set-default to set Java 8 as your default Java version. This package will be installed along with Java installation. To make sure run below command.

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

After successfully installing Oracle Java 8 using the above steps, Let’s verify the installed version using the following command.

java -version

java version "1.8.0_201"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_201-b09)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.201-b09, mixed mode)

Step 3 – Setup JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME Variable

After installing Java on Linux system, You must have to set JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME environment variables. Which is used by many Java applications to find Java libraries during runtime. You can set these variables in /etc/environment file using the following command.

cat >> /etc/environment <<EOL
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle
JRE_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre
EOL

All done, you have successfully installed Java 8 on a Linux system. You may also need to install Tomcat server to run your Java web application. Use our another tutorial to Install Tomcat 7 or Install Tomcat 8 or Install Tomcat 9 on Ubuntu, Debian, and LinuxMint systems.

    sudo apt update; sudo apt install oracle-java8-installer
    after the second command i am getting error like this
    “Package oracle-java8-installer is not available, but is referred to by another package.

    Hi, there,

    Thanks so much for your post. It’s helpful.
    But I failed to install java,

    I got this error message:

    Linux Mint 19.1, couldn’t do the last step as the guide says. Ended up doing:
    sudo nano /etc/environment

    Paste in:
    JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle
    JRE_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre

    Save and exit.

    Thank you for the guide!

    This seems to install JRE _not_ JDK as the title of the article states.
    Several people have pointed this out in the comments yet these queries remain unanswered.
    Perhaps the title of the article is incorrect…

      Encountered the same issue – i had to modify the timeout settings in /var/lib/dpkg/info/oracle-java8-installer.postinst to make it run. Sadly, the installer script doesn’t use the system-wide /etc/wgetrc but creates its own wgetrc each time it runs. So, you’ll have to search for the line “echo “timeout = 15″ >> wgetrc” in the postinst file i’ve mentioned above. Now, just set a longer timeout or remove the line completely.

    Hi Rahul,
    I am new to Ubuntu. I tried the setps to install jdk 1.8.
    While setting environment, I found the error
    Error: Could not open input file: /usr/java/jre1.8.0_45/lib/rt.pack
    jsse.jar…
    Error: Could not open input file: /usr/java/jre1.8.0_45/lib/jsse.pack

    What should I do to set environment ?

      Same here, HARSHITA.

      Worse: I can’t install any package since I’ve tried to install this using this tutorial. Can someone help please?

        EDIT: Maybe a helpful hint, I did a…

        java -version

        …this shows me…

        java version “1.9.0-ea”
        Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.9.0-ea-b70)
        Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.9.0-ea-b70, mixed mode)

        So the error messages seem to come from an older installation, that I have to remove. But how?

    Hi,

    I would like to thank you for helping the non techs like myself first. Could you help me with a problem I get? I am using LM 17.1 and trying to do the installation I get the Binary Code License Agreement display at mt terminal window. There is no way to click ok or accept those terms, failing which the installation aborts. Can you tell me a way around, or what am I doing wrong?

    Thanks
    Amit

    Hi,
    I could install java 8 as you wrote, but I still can not set java 8 as a default JRE. And when I would like to add it to the installed JREs I cant find it. Where should it be?
    Thank you!
