Ubuntu Oracle Java 8 from PPA

Ubuntu Oracle Java 8 from PPA


You can easily add the official Oracle Java to Ubuntu if pages like webcam control panels or netbanking sites require it to work properly.

Write this to the terminal:

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

Make sure that all programs will use this version of java by manually setting it:

 sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-8-oracle
