Hey!

Are you deploying this to the DigitalOcean App Platform? If so, then you would have to use a Dockerfile to deploy your app as Java is not a supported runtime:

https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/reference/dockerfile/

You can find a list of the supported buildpacks on the App Platform here:

If you are deploying this on a Droplet, you can follow the steps here on how to install Java:

Hope that this helps!

Best,
