Installed elastic search kibana and logstash on the same machine now facing a few error

Question

I have installed elastic search, kibana and logstash on the same machine. I haven't done anything other than installing them. I somehow ended up with these error:

The issue which you are facing is because of the Java Version. Could you please let us know the Java Version installed on your System? You can check it using the below command:

java -version

The issue which you are facing is because of the Open JDK installed. Please follow the below steps to resolve the issue:

(i) Download the Java using the below command:

wget http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u151-b12/e758a0de34e24606bca991d704f6dcbf/jdk-8u151-linux-i586.tar.gz

sudo mkdir /usr/lib/jvm

cd /usr/lib/jvm

sudo tar -xvzf ~/Downloads/jdk-8u151-linux-x64.tar.gz

(ii) Now edit the Environment file using the below command:

vi /etc/environment

(iii) Add the below lines:

PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_151/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_151/db/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_151/jre/bin"

J2SDKDIR="/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_151"

J2REDIR="/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_151/jre"

JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_151"

DERBY_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_151/db"

(c) Save the file and execute the below command:

sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_151/bin/java" 0

sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javac" "javac" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_151/bin/javac" 0

sudo update-alternatives --set java /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_151/bin/java

sudo update-alternatives --set javac /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_151/bin/javac
