Download java jdk<version>-linux-x64.tar.gz file from https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html.
Extract this file where you want. like: /home/java(Folder name created by user in home directory).
Now open terminal.
Set path JAVA_HOME=path of your jdk folder(open jdk folder then right click on any folder, go to properties then copy the path using select all)
and paste here.
Like: JAVA_HOME=/home/xxxx/java/JDK1.8.0_201
Let Ubuntu know where our JDK/JRE is located.
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /home/xxxx/java/jdk1.8.0_201/bin/java 20000
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /home/xxxx/java/jdk1.8.0_201/bin/javac 20000
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javaws javaws /home/xxxx/java/jdk1.8.0_201/bin/javaws 20000
Tell Ubuntu that our installation i.e., jdk1.8.0_05 must be the default Java.
sudo update-alternatives --set java /home/xxxx/sipTest/jdk1.8.0_201/bin/java
sudo update-alternatives --set javac /home/xxxx/java/sipTest/jdk1.8.0_201/bin/javac
sudo update-alternatives --set javaws /home/xxxxx/sipTest/jdk1.8.0_201/bin/javaws
Now try:
$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
There are 3 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).
Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-oracle1/bin/java 1047 auto mode
1 /usr/bin/gij-4.6 1046 manual mode
2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-oracle1/bin/java 1047 manual mode
3 /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_75/bin/java 1 manual mode
Press enter to keep the current choice [*], or type selection number: 3
update-alternatives: using /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_75/bin/java to provide /usr/bin/java (java) in manual mode
Repeat the above for:
sudo update-alternatives --config javac
sudo update-alternatives --config javaws
