How to install OpenJDK 8 on Linux Mint 18 Sarah

1. Install Java (OpenJDK) "sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk" 2. Verify Java (OpenJDK) version "java -version" 3. Setup Java Environment Variables to all users Open /etc/profile file with your favorite text editor. I used atom text editor "sudo atom /etc/profile" Add these lines to end of the file. Save & close. JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/bin/java" JRE_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java" PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:JAVA_HOME:JRE_HOME 4.
