You are referencing a JRE (runtime) in the path not an JDK (development tools), the JRE does not contain the javac (compiler).

Hence the error because there is no command called javac in the /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.8.0_371/bin/ directory.

I suggest you look in the /usr/lib/jvm directory for a jdk1.8.0_371/bin directory...
