Just to remind myself in case I get lost again:

  • Install Oracle JRE 7, at least for now JRE 8 is not recommended
    • Editย /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-java.list with these lines: 
      deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu trusty main               
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu trusty main
    • Import GPG 
      sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys EEA14886
    • Install
