Installing JDK 8

First, we need to have installed JDK 8; we are going to use Java SE Development Kit 8u144 or higher, available on http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html. Choose Java Platform (JDK) and then the right version for your operating system.

Complete the standard installation. Next, we need to establish JAVA_HOME and PATH variables in the right folders.
