Download done.

Install proceeded as expected in my computer and finished successfully. However I would like to know download location of this xx.tar.gz file in current computer so that I can make a copy of it along with downloaded *deb files in apt-cache. This is for replicating java installation on other similar computers without accessing the download site over internet each time to get 112 M file. I looked at $HOME/Downloads, /tmp and /var/cache/apt/archives, but could not locate this file.

    Your question is not related to apt-get at all.

    Oracle-java9-installer has an installation script that downloads java from Oracle site and installs it. It is very specific to this package.

    But your answer is: the tarball is at /var/cache/oracle-jdk9-installer/
