Unlike other version managers such as NVM, jEnv itself doesnвЂ™t install JDKs. People on the Stackoverflow cautioned not to install 8 until 7 is installed. If your brew or cask is outdated, update and upgrade: brew update & brew upgrade brew-cask & brew cleanup & brew cask cleanup Install Homebrew Cask first if you havenвЂ™t: brew update IвЂ™m going to use Cask to install Java 7 and 8.
