Press the TAB key. That should select the OK button, and then you can press the ENTER key to proceed. On the next step, press TAB to select "Yes" and accept the license.

I have a linux Mint 19.1 Tessa (Cinnamon.) I followed all of the steps below:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linuxuprising/java
sudo apt update
sudo apt install oracle-java11-installer

As soon as I reached the Package configuration to configuring oracle-java11-installer, the OK button isn't highlighted. I cannot press enter nor click with the mouse. Help!

I actually should have deleted that file, since there's no javaws in Oracle Java 11. I'll update the package with that and a couple other minor changes.

There is an error with the .desktop file: "/usr/share/applications/JB-javaws-jdk11.desktop".
Internally, is pointing to java 11 icon, jvm, etc. The content of the file is:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Oracle Java 10 Web Start
Comment=Oracle Java 10 Web Start
Exec=/usr/lib/jvm/java-10-oracle/bin/javaws %u
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=oracle_java10
Categories=Application;Network;
MimeType=application/x-java-jnlp-file;

It should be:

Exec=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-oracle/bin/javaws %u

2019-01-22T10:30:06.472+00:00

The oracle-java11-installer package is in the PPA for all supported Ubuntu versions: https://launchpad.net/~linuxuprising/+archive/ubuntu/java/+packages.

The reason you're getting the "unable to locate package" error might be due to:
- you didn't add the PPA (sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linuxuprising/java)
- you didn't update the software sources (sudo apt update)
- you're running an unsupported Ubuntu version (or some Linux distribution based on an unsupported Ubuntu version)

What Ubuntu version are you on?

I won't have time to check it out for a while, but the community thanks you. Keep up the good work.

Java was updated and when Oracle does this, it removes the old URLs, that's why you got a 404 not found error. I just updated the packages with the new Oracle Java 11.0.2 so it will work now. Use "sudo apt update" to update the software sources, then "sudo apt install oracle-java11-installer" to install the latest version.

Can you please update the post install script?
I was able to install 11.0.2 (Minor Version 7) by modifying the post install script (when 11.0.1 broke) like this ...

If you install the oracle-java11-set-default package, it adds jdk.sh in /etc/profile.d/ which sets JAVA_HOME and others. A logout/login is needed after installing the oracle-java11-set-default package to pick up the new environment variables.

2018-10-18T10:57:26.233+01:00

Remove oracle-java10-installer. Oracle no longer provides public downloads for Oracle Java 10 so that won't work. So just do: "sudo apt remove oracle-java10-installer". Then follow the steps I mentioned.

This is a screenshot showing oracle-java11-installer using the local .tar.gz file instead of downloading it from Oracle: https://i.imgur.com/5g0J9Kj.png.

Awright, I'm an idiot. Had to add oracle.com to my whitelist. Now I've got a different issue:

2018-10-18T01:59:30.475+01:00

Well, you were partially right :)
The file was there, but empty. I downloaded 11.0.1 and put it in the correct directory, but running "sudo apt install oracle-java11-installer" still gives me
