Answer 1

First modify the .bashrc file like below, you don't need JRE_HOME

export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk1.8.0_171
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

This would be sufficient, and chown that jdk1.8.0_171 to user level

sudo chown user:group jdk1.8.0_171

For Example sudo chown deadpool:deadpool jdk1.8.0_171 And check java -v and which java

Observe the Error its looking for directory jdk1.8.0_131 but in path your directory is jdk1.8.0_171
