Hi Ian,

Two acronyms I keep in mind when installing Java on a system:
 1. JRE = Java *Runtime* Environment
 2. JDK = Java *Development* Kit

> ian@turing:~$ java --version
> The program 'java' can be found in the following packages:
>  * default-jre

Install this one.

>  * gcj-5-jre-headless
>  * openjdk-8-jre-headless
>  * gcj-4.8-jre-headless
>  * gcj-4.9-jre-headless
>  * openjdk-9-jre-headless
> Try: sudo apt install <selected package>
> ian@turing:~$ which java
