HOWTO : Oracle Java 8 on Kali Linux 1.0.9a

For some reasons, you need to install Oracle Java 8 instead of the default OpenJDK 7 on Kali Linux.

nano java8

Add the following to the file and save.

echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu trusty main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-java.list
echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu trusty main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-java.list
apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys EEA14886
apt-get update
apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

Make the file executable.

chmod +x java8

Run it to install.

./java8

To uninstall.

apt-get --purge remove oracle-java8-installer

That's all! See you.
