How to Install Java on Linux Lite

[waynebob]

I open a terminal in the downloads box and copy/paste sudo su and get in root with red writing then copy/paste the next line to create the directory. Here's what I get, didn't know you could copy/paste the command box.

linuxlite@linuxlite-H170-D3HP:~/Downloads$ sudo su
[sudo] password for linuxlite:
root@linuxlite-H170-D3HP:/home/linuxlite/Downloads# mkdir /usr/lib/jvm/oracle_jdk8
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/usr/lib/jvm/oracle_jdk8’: No such file or directory
root@linuxlite-H170-D3HP:/home/linuxlite/Downloads#
