How to install JRE on ubuntu 15.10?

Question

I have Java version 1.7.0_91 installed in my Ubuntu PC. I installed it using the command

sudo apt-get install default-jdk

so, I think only JDK is installed but not the JRE. So what can I do to install JRE?

Answer 1

Run:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer oracle-java8-set-default

This will install Oracle JRE 8 and set it as default.
