The following used to work before the Oracle Java license changes in early 2019.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

Do not download binaries straight from the Internet. That is not how to install software on Linux. It is how Windows users do it, but it is wrong on Linux.
Install it from the package manager. Google for instructions for your version, since you did not bother to tell us what you are running. Without detailed specific info we can't help you.
