Hello,
I have been trying to install thingsboard on my Rpi2 B+ model for which it needs a javaupdate which i have updated to 1.8.0_151 but i am still getting the following error when I was trying to unpack thingsboard installation setup.


pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo dpkg -i thingsboard-1.3.1.deb
(Reading database ... 77120 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace thingsboard 1.3.1-1 (using thingsboard-1.3.1.deb) ...

I tried to install java8jdk but the result was following:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
Reading package lists... Done

Package oracle-java8-installer is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'oracle-java8-installer' has no installation candidate


please help

thingsboard depends on openjdk-8-jre | java8-runtime | oracle-java8-installer | openjdk-8-jre-headless; however:

This means it needs one of these.
Try installing openjdk-8-jre

I have already installed java jre and jdk but still I am getting that error while unpacking Thingsboard. Even I have tried your suggestion this is the result I got:

Did you try my suggestion, which was assuming you are running the current Raspbian Stretch ??

[DirkS]

Did you run 'sudo apt update' before trying to install the package?
Which OS (distro + version) do you run on?

[venkyskar]

@DirkS
Yes i did that before instaling

@fruitoftheloom: No my rasbian is wheezy not at all a latest streach.

Raspbian Wheezy was end of life 2015, maybe it is time to use Raspbian Stretch and newer packages ??
