Step 1) Download the Oracle JDK package
There are two packages available for Linux: .rpm and .gz. Here, .gz is taken as example.
Download a JDK from http://download.java.net/. Look for ".gz" under "Linux" and download to local Windows machine.
Step 2). Make the folder available
$ sudo mkdir /usr/local/java
$ cd /usr/local/
$ sudo chmod 777 java
Copy jdk-8u152-linux-x64.tar.gz onto /usr/local/java/
Step 4). Unzip the package
$ tar xzf jdk-8u152-linux-x64.tar.gz
The JDK content is under folder
jdk1.8.0_152Step 5). Install JDK Linkage Format:
$ update-alternatives --install <link> <name> <path> <priority>
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/local/java/jdk1.8.0_152/bin/java 100
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/jar jar /usr/local/java/jdk1.8.0_152/bin/jar 100
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/local/java/jdk1.8.0_152/bin/javac 100

Oracle JDK 8 is NOT installed.
dpkg: error processing package oracle-java8-installer (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
That's not right which means the auto process (apt-get install) is broken. We have to go the manual way.
