Easy installation for JDK 8 on Ubuntu

Apr 13, 2015

1. Downloading
   • Go http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/
   • Click the JDK download button
     
   • Accept the license agreement and click the linux-x64.tar.gz
     
2. Installing
   • Move to the desired java home (I recommended “/usr/local/”) and decompress the file

     cd /usr/local/
     sudo mv ~/Downloads/jdk-8u40-linux-x64.tar.gz ./
     sudo tar xvzf jdk-8u40-linux-x64.tar.gz
     

3. Setting (recommended)
   • Open /etc/profile

     vi /etc/profile
     

   • Add the following two lines

     export JAVA_HOME="/usr/local/jdk1.8.0_40"
     PATH="$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH"
