brew cask install java8安装失败

Question

I followed this stackoverflow thread to install jdk1.8 on my Sierra MacOS.

Once I got to brew cask install java8 . I entered my sudo password that has admin access and I get the following failure:

==> Installing Cask java8
==> Running installer for java8; your password may be necessary.
==> Package installers may write to any location; options such as --appdir are ignored.
Password:
installer: Package name is JDK 8 Update 192

installer: The upgrade failed (The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.)

Is there anyone that can give me a clue on what the failure is? I don't think I will be contacting Oracle on this.

Answer 1

Can you try installing it this way :

brew cask install adoptopenjdk8

I used it and it worked.
