Add the webupd8 ppa, and install from that -

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

Then

java -version

should show you using Oracle Java 8. If not, or if you want to use a different version - run update-java-alternatives with something like,

sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-8-oracle

or

sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-7-oracle

As appropriate.
