Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

After removing the existing elasticsearch version 6. I got an error in installing elasticsearch version 7.

Here is the error message:
#dpkg -i elasticsearch-7.1.1-amd64.deb
(Reading database ... 113568 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack elasticsearch-7.1.1-amd64.deb ...

can anyone help me on this issue.

Install java 1.8.0 instead of using java 8. The elastic matrix compatibility is shown here.
