你可以使用SDKMan，

curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io" | bash
source "~/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh"
sdk install java

我只是在Ubuntu虚拟机上做了这个。我是这样做的。

Ubuntu comes with the Java JRE installed, but not the JDK. Java -version gives the JRE, not the JDK. Run javac -version. If the JDK isn't installed, you will get an error. Run the following command in the terminal to get the JDK: sudo apt install default-jdk. Now, run which javac. The output should be /usr/bin/javac. It has now been installed. IntelliJ won't let us use this path because it is the binary of javac. Go to Project Structure > Project Settings > Project. Where it says 'Project SDK', add a JDK. Then go to /usr/lib/jvm. Now you should be able to compile java projects in IntellIJ.

您可能必须编辑配置，以便IntelliJ知道在哪里查找您的主类。执行命令>编辑配置。为main类添加主类，并将项目的根目录添加为Working目录。

参考问Ubuntu问题如何设置OpenJDK的JAVA_HOME ?，

如何在Ubuntu (Linux)下安装Open JDK (Java开发工具包)?

Open Terminal from Application Dash or press Ctrl+Alt+T Update repository: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openjdk-r/ppa # only Ubuntu 17.4 and earlier sudo apt update Optional: To search available distributions of openjdk, use the following command: apt search openjdk Install the appropriate version with the following command: sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk sudo apt install openjdk-8-source #this is optional, the jdk source code For JAVA_HOME (Environment Variable) type command as shown below, in "Terminal" using your installation path... export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk (Note: /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk is symbolically used here just for demostration. You should use your path as per your installation.) For PATH (Environment Variable) type command as shown below, in Terminal: export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin To check your installation: java -version

来自Ubuntu网站的Wiki:

对于Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, sun-java6包已经从Ubuntu归档文件的Multiverse部分中删除了。建议使用openjdk-6。

如果您不能从专有的Sun JDK/JRE切换到OpenJDK，您可以从规范合作伙伴存储库安装Sun -java6包。你可以通过命令行配置你的系统来使用这个存储库:

 sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
 sudo apt-get update   
 sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin
 sudo update-alternatives --config java

对于Ubuntu 10.10, sun-java6包已经从Ubuntu归档文件的Multiverse部分中删除了。建议使用openjdk-6。

如果您不能从专有的Sun JDK/JRE切换到OpenJDK，您可以从规范合作伙伴存储库安装Sun -java6包。你可以通过命令行配置你的系统来使用这个存储库:

 sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ maverick partner"
 sudo apt-get update   
 sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin
 sudo update-alternatives --config java

简单地运行:

sudo apt-get install default-jdk

如果你想安装Oracle JDK，你可以使用这个自动的脚本来完成所有的工作。
