Installing Java 8 on your machine

Note: This tutorial is made for Linux users because they are the most likely to not have the correct version of Java pre-installed. If you are not a Linux user but are still facing issues and/or are uncomfortable using the Command Line/Terminal please .

Open the terminal and check to see which version of Java is installed:

$ java -version

If the resulting output looks like this: openjdk version "1.8.0_171" Then the correct version of Java is installed and you do not need to make additional changes. If you see this output, but are still facing issues, go .

In the rare case that Java is not currently installed on your machine, you will see the following output: Command 'java' not found

You will need to install OpenJDK: $ sudo apt install default-jre

Install Java 8 by executing the following command:

$ sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk

Check to see if the Java 8 was installed correctly:

$ java -version

The resulting should look like this: openjdk version "1.8.0_171"

You now have Java 8 installed and running.
