Do not use version for other Linux releases if you can avoid it. rpm is for Redhat. On the download page there is also a version ending in .tar.gz. Use that.

Installtion is the same as unpacking the tar.gz file (it does not have an installation process and all you need to do is untar the file and move the files to a location you like).


Installation:

  • download the file from the link
  • cd /opt/
  • `sudo tar xvfz /tmp/jdk* .

(change /tmp/ to where you download your files).

and you will find the files under /opt/jdk1.8.0_05/

Setting it up and configuring parameters is up to you.
