  • Head over to Oracle JDK 8 download page (https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html). Accept the license agreement and download the tar.gz file. It will prompt you to create an Oracle account.
  • After logging into your Oracle account, you can download JDK 8. Then open up a terminal window and navigate to the download directory. Then extract the tar.gz file to /usr/lib/jvm/ directory using sudo tar xvf jdk-8u221-linux-x64.tar.gz --directory /usr/lib/jvm/
