Description

The document at INSTALL.md says how to install for older Ubuntu, but not 16.04. In particular, the 14.04 instructions fail for me saying the openjdk-7-jdk package is missing.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the existing INSTALL.md, identify the changes needed for Ubuntu 16.04, especially replacing openjdk 7 jdk with openjdk 8 jdk or equivalent, and verify the installation steps on a Ubuntu 16.04 system.
