Package "oracle-java8-set-default" does not have a candidate for installation

  • 772

I try to install jdk but it gives me this error

introducir el código aquí sudo apt install oracle-java8-set-default
Leyendo lista de paquetes... Hecho
Creando árbol de dependencias       
Leyendo la información de estado... Hecho
El paquete oracle-java8-set-default no está disponible, pero algún
otro paquete hace referencia
a él. Esto puede significar que el paquete falta, está obsoleto o sólo         
se encuentra disponible desde alguna otra fuente
Sin embargo, los siguientes paquetes lo reemplazan:
oracle-java12-set-default oracle-java11-set-default-local

E: El paquete «oracle-java8-set-default» no tiene un candidato para la 
instalación

I also tried the following and it gives me the same error

sudo apt install oracle-java8-installer

I've been stuck on this issue, I don't know what I can do, or can you help me install it graphically? that is without command lines

java

    The problem is that the webupd8team repo has been discontinued for a long time; I had the same problem in Mint 19.1 trying to install JDK 1.8.0_31, the solution I found is purely manual:

    The first thing is to download the JDK from the Oracle website

    Then, from terminal ( the commands vary in the version of JDK! ):

    1. Unzip to directory /usr/lib/jvm:

    sudo tar -zxf ~/Descargas/jdk-8u31-linux-x64.tar.gz -C /usr/lib/jvm

    1. Update command java:

    sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_31/bin/java 100

    1. Update command javac:

    sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_31/bin/javac 100

    1. Set the Oracle JDK as default:

    sudo update-alternatives --config javaand select the option corresponding to JDK 8:
