Alternative way is to install javadoc via npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/javadoc

$ npm install -s javadoc

$ javadoc --version
javadoc 12.0.1

Solution 2

The only way to get javadocs is to install a JRE or a JDK. If you picked one that did not have javadoc you will need to install one that does.

No way around it.

Last time I used a Microsoft OS I was 12, since that day my life changed. My path was therefore doomed: I started studying as Computer Engineer becoming fond of languages (both programming and human ones). Love to travel, play guitar and dream about an utopic playland I will build one day.

I installed java downloading the relative file from the Oracle site, and following the manual guide I found on http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org . I have it and it works.

Now I'm trying using javadoc with the following command:
```
$ javadoc -version -private -d /tmp/Docs -sourcepath src -subpackages it
```
But I receive this error message:
```
The program 'javadoc' can be found in the following packages:
 * default-jdk
 * gcj-5-jdk
 * openjdk-8-jdk-headless
 * gcj-4.8-jdk
 * gcj-4.9-jdk
 * openjdk-9-jdk-headless
Try: sudo apt install <selected package>
```
As I already installed java, how should I proceed to get javadoc too? I'm afraid any of the packages suggested could result in some problems as I already have a jdk.

Note: I would prefer not to use openjdk.

  Java isn't JDK. For javadoc, you need a JDK installed. From your question, you don't already have a JDK installed.

Why use npm when apt is the native platform installer?
