I installed the java jre via my package manager and get this version:

$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_66"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_66-b17)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.66-b17, mixed mode)

But the current Java Update is 71, so I downloaded it from the official website, but I don't know how to install the download and what exact file I should download. How do I do that? I use Ubuntu 14

If you installed Oracle java from ppa:webupd8team/java, it is quite easy to update it manually.

Download JDK from oracle site and extract it to

/usr/lib/jvm/

You will need to rename jdk1.8.0_72 to java-8-oracle.
