apt下载open-jdk8报错add-apt-repository: command not found

今天下载jdk8报错

在Ubuntu下，时不时会有这个错误的。 add-apt-repository: command not found

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common python-software-properties

下载好后再

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openjdk-r/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk

选择jak版本

sudo update-alternatives --config java
