How to Install Oracle Java JDK in Ubuntu Linux

Copy and decompress oracle Java to /usr/local/java

$ sudo mv jdk1.8.0_05/ /usr/local/java

Inform your Ubuntu Linux system where your Oracle Java JDK/JRE is located. This will tell the system that the new Oracle Java version is available for use.

$ sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javaws" "javaws" "/usr/local/java/bin/javaws" 1

Inform your Ubuntu Linux system that Oracle Java JDK/JRE must be the default Java.

$ sudo update-alternatives --set java /usr/local/java/bin/java
$ sudo update-alternatives --set javac /usr/local/java/bin/javac
$ sudo update-alternatives --set javaws /usr/local/java/bin/javaws

Reload your system wide PATH /etc/profile by typing the following command:

 $ sudo bash /etc/profile

Verify:

$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_31"
