dnaplotter installation issues

Hello everyone, Im struggling to install/run artemis dnaplot. I download the program from the website. I followed the instructions so I used these commands tar zxf artemis-unix-release-{version}.tar.gz and artemis/dnaplotter. I also tried to update and udgrade my linux system but still I got the following error after typing artemis/dnaplotter. 

Starting DNA Plotter with arguments: -mx2g -ms100m -noverify -Djdbc.drivers=org.postgresql.Driver -Dartemis.environment=UNIX  
Error: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again

I dont know what happened by my reply disappeared. So iam rewriting my reply. I typed java --version and I got this:

  • openjdk version "1.8.0_242"
    • OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_242-8u242-b08-0ubuntu3~18.04-b08)
    • OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.242-b08, mixed mode)

But nowhere mentioned about version 52/53 and java 9/11 as @genomax pointed me out.

From the program page you linked:

The old v17.0.1 version of the Artemis software required Java version 1.8 to run. All recent releases from v18.0.0 onwards require a minimum of Java 9 and ideally Java 11. This must be installed first.
