I installed Oracle Java Jdk 12 from here:

https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk12-downloads-5295953.html

But the installation explanation is cryptic to me:

Unpack the tarball and install the JDK: $ tar zxvf jdk-12.interim.update.patch_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz

The Java Development Kit files are installed in a directory called jdk-12.interim.update.patch.

But it doesn't tell what command to use to install it.

  • You didn't get jdk 12... you got a patch for jdk 12. Oracle Java license has changed. You may wish to install OpenJDK instead.

  • I don't know. Read the new licensing info at the web link you gave. It says it's ok for personal use only.

  • @Javier I'm glad it's working for you, but those were not my instructions. I suggested using the .deb file. You can still do that, and remove your path changes.
