How to Install Java on Linux Lite

[waynebob]

Good Morning, haven't given up on me yet eh? ;-) Yes I downloaded the 64 bit  that Jerry recommended. Here is what I get when running your script.
linuxlite@linuxlite-H170-D3HP:~$ tar -zxvf jre-* -C /usr/lib/jvm/oracle_jdk8 --strip-components=1
tar (child): jre-*: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
linuxlite@linuxlite-H170-D3HP:~$

Well I sure am getting practice using the terminal. That is a good thing right.
