Install Specific Java Version Package?

So I downloaded the specific Java version package file I needed from Oracle’s website, but I don’t know how to install it.

Can anyone tell me how?

I managed to extract the folder from the tar.gz file, but that’s as far as I’ve gotten. Does it just sit there? Are you supposed to move it further onto the Computer folder somewhere?

Currently trying to use Java 7 update 80 if that helps.

Open the folder and look for the README file that tells you how to install.

It used to be that they included an install.sh file. You will need to run that with root privileges unless you are intending on running a local user install. The instructions on the site are also pretty straight forward.
