Hello,
I am new in Ansible.
I need to install ORACLE JAVA 8 and that package is in .deb. (jdk1.8_1.8.0231-1_amd64.deb, jre1.8_1.8.0211-1_amd64.deb)
can anyone help me out to write ansible code for install java with the above condition?

Thanks

Best to get started first:
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/intro_getting_started.html
Then try this for your first playbook:

Hi,

Where did the package come from ? (sound like alien package of an rpm ?)

Some ideas :

  • If the package came from Oracle, very often, an interaction is needed to accept EULA… (I had that kind of problem on CentOS a while ago)

  • Have you tried a manual install ?

  • Also I saw that xz-utils is needed on remote server (look at documentation on apt). Perhaps your playbook should ensure it is installed before...

- If you want a specific jdk version not packaged for debian, use ``**make**-jpkg to create a good package that can be installed without prompting user.

Regards,
