How to install Oracle Java 8. (Includes JDK and JRE)

[Kit_Fox]

Sorry to bring the thread back from the grave (so to speak). Since I going through university, we are using BlueJ. Needed Java JDK and followed the instructions here for it. I am new to Ubuntu and starting to use the terminal more. Shouldn't the last line "install" before the file name?

Firstly, trust me with this, because you can look up how to install this on Google and it will show the same info I am teaching you now.

Now, on with the tutorial.

First, open XTerm on Lubuntu & Kubuntu , Terminal Emulator on Xubuntu, and Terminal on Ubuntu (Main flavor), and type in what's below:

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

Then, a text-only UI will appear with a Terms and Conditions window and after that a Yes/No window saying for you to agree to the Oracle Java Binary Agreement or something along those lines. Select Yes and Java 8 will continue with the install. After about 6 minutes (Since that's how long it took me to install this) the install will be finished and you can do whatever you need to with the Java Development Kit and/or Java Runtime Environment (Or JRE for short).
