在Ubuntu 18.04中，我们可以像安装普通包一样安装java，而不需要使用外部存储库

只需运行这个命令

sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk

参考问Ubuntu问题如何设置OpenJDK的JAVA_HOME ?，

如何在Ubuntu (Linux)下安装Open JDK (Java开发工具包)?

Open Terminal from Application Dash or press Ctrl+Alt+T Update repository: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openjdk-r/ppa # only Ubuntu 17.4 and earlier sudo apt update Optional: To search available distributions of openjdk, use the following command: apt search openjdk Install the appropriate version with the following command: sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk sudo apt install openjdk-8-source #this is optional, the jdk source code For JAVA_HOME (Environment Variable) type command as shown below, in "Terminal" using your installation path... export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk (Note: /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk is symbolically used here just for demostration. You should use your path as per your installation.) For PATH (Environment Variable) type command as shown below, in Terminal: export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin To check your installation: java -version

你可以用oraji。它可以从oracle java (.tar.gz)安装/卸载JDK或JRE。

执行sudo oraji '/path/ To /the/jdk_or_jre_archive' 如果需要卸载，请执行oraji -u命令并确认版本号。

在Ubuntu1604中，我遇到了“没有安装候选错误”。下面的步骤帮助我安装。

-sudo apt-get update -sudo apt-get upgrade -apt-get install software-properties-common -sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java -apt-get更新 -sudo apt install oracle-java8-installer

如果您已经下载了ZIP文件，请遵循以下步骤。

运行以下命令解压缩文件。

tar -xvf ~/Downloads/jdk-7u3-linux-i586.tar.gz
sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0
sudo mv jdk1.7.0_03/* /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0/
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0/bin/java" 1
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javac" "javac" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0/bin/javac" 1
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javaws" "javaws" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0/bin/javaws" 1

安装完成后，请按照如下操作设置环境变量。

在/etc/profile文件中编辑系统路径:

sudo gedit /etc/profile

在末尾添加以下几行。

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin
export JAVA_HOME
export PATH
