How to solve unable to locate package oracle-java8-installer

[Kayleen]

Hi all! 

For those running aws windows juicer for the first time, you will encounter an error here: 

Before running Juicer for the first time, you should also update to the latest version of Java and scripts from Github by running the following

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y oracle-java8-installer

This is because the oracle-java8 PPA has been discontinued. You will encounter problems while running juicer pipeline if you do not update java. 

To workaround this situation, you can download openjdk8 instead: 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openjdk-r/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk

java -version

I hope this helps anyone who faced the same error as me!
