1. Go to https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
2. Click on Download on JRE as highlighted below
3. Then click on “Accept License Agreement” as shown below
4. Once accepted, I have downloaded the one which says Windows x64 because my operating system is windows 64 bit. Note that version (8 update 212) will change in future but steps would remain same.

jre-8u212-windows-x64.exe

5. After installing, I was able to move forward and install SQL Server 2019.
