You have to install the
openjdk-8-jre
:sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre
-
Next switch to the jre-8 version:
$ sudo update-alternatives --config java There are 2 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java). Selection Path Priority Status * 0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-9-openjdk-amd64/bin/java 1500 auto mode 1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java 1500 manual mode 2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-9-openjdk-amd64/bin/java 1500 manual mode
-
check java version:
$ java -version openjdk version "1.8.0_151" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_151-8u151-b12-0ubuntu0.17.10.2-b12) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.151-b12, mixed mode)
Same procedure for Oracle java.
