Dick,
Create an account on oracle.com, accept their license terms, and download
the appropriate jdk version. That's the java development kit and it
includes
jre, the java runtime environment. Or, download only the jre.
Some jave applictions require specific java versions, and some will
run on
openjdk while others won't. Annoying.
I was going to ask if the jdk and the jde can interfere with each other,
but I see from your comments that, at least if I use Oracle's version,
they don't. I finally switch machine this weekend. I got all of the
programs I need installed and was ready to go. Turns out I need the jre
for LibreOffice, since I have a macro. I went to Synaptic and installed
default-jre, 2:1.1-68ubuntu1~18.04.1. That fixed LibreOffice. I'm going
to try audiveris for OMR. It want's Java Development Kit (JDK)
<http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html>:
version 7 or 8 (preferred), but not 9 or 10 yet. Audiveris 5.1 can run
on both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. Will I run into trouble trying
to install the jdk with an existing jre? Or should I uninstall the
existing jre and then install the jdk?
