I am running Ubuntu Server 18.04 and want to install opendjdk-8-jdk. I have tried doing these steps (referring to this).

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openjdk-r/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk

But I am still getting this:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package openjdk-8-jdk

I specifically want openJDK rather than Oracle-Java-Kit that some repositories offer.

Thank you.

I suggest you remove the ppa and enable the universe repo instead.

apt policy openjdk-8-jdk
openjdk-8-jdk:
  Installed: (none)
