To install Oracle Java SE:
. Navigate to link:https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-downloads.html[Oracle Java SE downloads page], and choose the version of Java you wish to use.
. Accept the license agreement and download the appropriate tar.gz file for your systems architecture.
. Unpack the tar.gz file somewhere.
For example, to extract it to the _/opt_ directory:
`sudo tar xf Downloads/jdk-18_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz -C /opt`
. Set the _JAVA_HOME_ environment variable to that directory.
For example: `export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk-18.0.1.1`
Note: Always make sure to download latest version available.
