Tika server and Java8

Hello there, I am trying to run some python library that needs tika server and that needs Java 8. I had exactly the same issue on home computer and after installing java 8, the issue got resolved. Is there anyway to get Java 8 (jre8) enabled for my account?

There is Java installed on all accounts, but you would not be able to run some server visible to your other programs eg. web apps. How do you run your code?

Any reply to this thread, I am facing the same issue. I need tika to parse and process some files and I need to deploy the solution to pythonanywhere. Please share any work around!| Thank you!

You will not be able to run an arbitrary server (like tika) on PythonAnywhere.
