Hello
You have to install latest JDK from here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
Here you can find JDK installation instructions:
https://flashphoner.com/docs/wcs5/w...eparing_for_installation-jdk_installation.htm
Finally you have to check your Java version

# java -version
java version "1.8.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_45-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.45-b02, mixed mode)

It should be latest 1.8.x
