Do they need to install the JDK or is the JRE sufficient? They installed JRE.

jave version 1.8.0_181
Java™ SE Runtime Environment build 1.8.0_181-b13
Java HotSpot ™ Client VM build 25.181-b13, mixed mode, sharing

The JRE should be sufficient

Thank you, I was hoping someone wasn’t going to give me crap for posting screen shots like in some other forums

We actually welcome them, within reason. It is a dearth of information (or details) that gives grief.
For instance one person wanted help and said they installed the latest JRE without qualifying what major version. In that case they has installed Java 8 but there was no way for us to discern that from their original posting.
