> > | On some systems the Java based installer may fail to run with a notice as shown below even though you are supplying the -c argument.

You can do that with the following yum command on RHEL8.
yum install dejavu-sans-fonts java-1.8.0-openjdk

You can also run this application in console mode without
access to an X server by passing the argument -c
