I'm trying to install oracle-java6-installer on Ubuntu 16.04.
I installed it with these steps:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer
but I got this error:

Java 6 is no longer supported by Oracle (some updates are still available through Java SE Support program, but that's not available publicly - from Wikipedia). Install Java 8 or newer instead.
