I was able to make it to Step 5 before reaching this error:

srn@srn-Inspiron-1545:~/Downloads$ sudo cp -r jdk-8u20-linux-x64.tar.gz /usr/local/java/

cp: cannot stat ‘jdk-8u20-linux-x64.tar.gz’: No such file or directory

    I don't have ubuntu. Can you type: apt list java* (This will list all packages that starts with java that you can install)

    Also try apt list jre* or apt list jdk*

    If you get positive results in any of those, then try for example "apt install jre" or you will need a more specific name from the listing command. I have to say I am surprise ubuntu doesn't have java available.... Notice to run the command "apt install ..." you will need administrator privileges.

    Problem is solved, downloaded filename version number didn't exactly match the one in the instructions.
