HOWTO: INSTALL:

Oracle Java 13

This will install the latest Oracle Java 13 as the system wide Java runtime...

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linuxuprising/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java13-installer
java --version

This should not affect anyone with the Unifi Controller installed because the /etc/init.d/unifi startup script uses a hard coded JAVA_HOME line pointing to Java 8.

If you need to reconfigure the system wide Java then run this command and choose your Java flavour...

sudo update-alternatives --config java
