"sudo apt-get oracle-java8-installer" does not work #217

Tried to install AsTeRICS 3.0 on XUbuntu 16 and raspian PIXEL. In both cases the recommended command:

sudo apt-get oracle-java8-installer

to get the Java JRE did not work, the package was not found. Then I used the openJDK package, which worked. However, we should not recommend "oracle-java8-installer" if it does not exist.

you must add a package source as described here: https://medium.com/coderscorner/installing-oracle-java-8-in-ubuntu-16-10-845507b13343

so maybe we should simply link to that tutorial? The alternative is to directly use the download from oracle: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
