Java 9 was released officially today, so is there a way to install the JDK on Ubuntu (16.04) without having to change version numbers and checksums?
I was trying to use the webupd8 oracle-java9-installer, but each time it failed with the same error message. I followed the recommended solutions posted to these questions, none of them worked for me -
- Can't install Oracle JDK 9
- oracle-jdk9-installer fails with HTTP 404
- webupd8 oracle-java-9-installer failing with 404
- Oracle Java 9 installer fails in Ubuntu 16.04
- Can't install anything because of JDK9 unsuccessful installation
I get the same error message that others have mentioned, even after following the recommended steps.
