I am trying to install the latest Java on Debian. I downloaded "jdk-8u111-linux-arm64-vfp-hflt.tar" from Oracle. I uploaded using FileAilla to BBB to root. I tried both auto and binary for Filezilla. I have used Filezilla many times in the past with no problem so it is not my candidate for the problem. BTW, I think FileZilla is an excellent program for transfering files either direction with the BBB and Windows 10.
This is the issue I get when I try and tar the file: root@beaglebone:~# tar xzf jdk-8u111-linux-arm64-vfp-hflt.tar gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now I am suspicious that the file may not be valid. Did I down load the wrong file for the Debian BBB? Was the download from Oracle corrupt (tried several times)? Was the upload with FileZilla corrupting (I copied back down from BBB to Window 10 and did a successful file match)? I can only conclude that there is a problem with what file I got from Oracle. Any insight in my error of my procedure will be appreciated.
