    You can try to install step by step as below

    • Step 1: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
    • Step 2: sudo apt-get update
    • Step 3: sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

    I hope it works for you.

    It might be OpenJDK8 is not included in your OS.  Try to install as below:

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