Hello Ranchers,
Last Sunday I wrote an automatic script that installs Oracle
Java on Ubuntu and its derivatives (like Mint). The script is extremely simple in use, it's only one command to get Java working in less than 30 seconds (ie.
sudo ./ujavainstaller.sh jdk-8u72-linux-x64.tar.gz)
Here is the link to
the project's GitHub repo. The readme file contains all necessary instructions.
Let me know how it worked for you or if you had any troubles with the script!
