sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

Because me java 7 give me a mistake

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java9-installer

Hi Yahia-RO

I use the command for JAVA 8 and works, but for JAVA 9 is not working.

I use the following commands:
_sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java9-installer
_

I recieve the following error:
"the package "oracle-java9-installer" dont have a candidate for the installation".

With the command for JAVA 8, its works perfect.
