How to install jdk7 in ubuntu 18.04

JDK7 has been deprecated however, there are still softwares that depend on it. I came across similar issue today and therefor I had to install jdk7. I will show what you need to do if you want to do the same. Frist download archive file of jdk from https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase7-521261.html. In my case I am going to download jdk-7u80-linux-x64.tar.gz. Now extract the file with the following command:
$ tar xvzf jdk-7u80-linux-x64.tar.gz
Move the extracted directrory to /usr/lib/jvm
$ sudo mv jdk1.7.0_80 /usr/lib/jvm
To make the installed java available for update-alternatives run the following command
$ sudo update-alternatives — install “/usr/bin/java” “java” “/opt/jdk/jdk1.7.0_80/bin/java” 1 
$sudo update-alternatives — install “/usr/bin/javac” “javac” “/opt/jdk/jdk1.7.0_80/bin/javac” 1 
$ sudo update-alternatives — install “/usr/bin/javaws” “javaws” “/opt/jdk/jdk1.7.0_80/bin/javaws” 1
Now that update-alternatives is aware of the newly installed java, you can change it with following command and select the desired version of java
$ update-alternatives --config java
You can verify with 
$ javac -version

Selenium IDE can be installed in Google Chrome from  here . For Firefox visit this  link . File upload in Selenium IDE cannot be automated simply by recording from the IDE. Because when we select the file input field, the dialog that opens up is a system window which cannot be controlled by Selenium IDE. Therefore, clicking the input file field to select a file will not work. Also the selected file path is changed to C:\fakepath\filename.extension. So to fix this issue, we need to configure the browser to support file upload and then instead of clicking the input field we set the file using ‘type’ selenium command which is shown below. First, to support file upload in Selenium IDE, configure your browser to support file upload: Visit ‘chrome://
