Income tax utilities on Linux

From Ubuntu ↗ 20.04 LTS or Linux Mint 20, the Java 8 SDK or Java 8

Runtime Environment is in the repository, but the openjfx libraries are not of version 8 but of version 11. To overcome error, you can use the Zulu ↗ Java runtime for version 8 with JavaFX. Also, these steps can work on Fedora ↗ 32. To do so, open a terminal window ↗ and enter the following commands:

  1. Download the Zulu Java Runtime Environment from * Azulsite. The local copy is currently in Applications folder of DDrive.*
  2. Untar the file from the downloaded folder (~/Downloads) into the /usr/lib/jvm folder
    $//cd /usr/lib/jvm//<enter>
    $//sudo tar -zxvf ~/Downloads/zulu8.48.0.51-ca-fx*.gz//<enter>
  3. Rename it to zulu8 for convenience
    $//sudo mv zulu8.48.0.51-ca-fx-jre8.0.262-linux_x64 zulu8//<enter>
    $//cd ~/Downloads//<enter>
  4. Now try to run the Java ITR utilities of India income tax return
    $///usr/lib/jvm/zulu8/bin/java -jar ITR-1_AY202021_PR2.jar//<enter>

The utility should run now.
