Which JRE should I install for macros in Libre Office for Xenial

  • 772

I have a clean Ubuntu 16.04 install, and opening Libre Office, it said it requires a JRE installed before I can run or write macros. I want to write VBA macros.

Running apt search jre shows many versions. Which should be installed?

libreoffice

    If the only reason you want a JRE is for LibreOffice, just install openjdk-9-jre.

    The other 'main' JRE is Oracle's JRE, which contains proprietary code and is not in the repos. You'd need to manually download and install it. It's probably easier to not bother with it.
