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  
Rajeeb

Best to get started first:

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,

JYL

Hi

I have a licensed version of rpm. I had converted .rpm to .deb through alien

I tried with manually but it’s not happing.

I want a specific version like java 8 .deb package.
