Is there a way to install or run jdk 8 without admin privileges? I would like to compile a java project I have that requires jdk 8 on a computer that has only jdk 6 installed. I am not an administrator on the computer.

It says it can't be installed for a single user and needs administrator privileges.– David CorbinApr 6, 2015 at 22:35

You can use Pacifist to view the contents of the JDK installer package. You can use it to extract the files to your user library folder ~/Library instead of the system wide /Library.
The relevant subfolders in Library are Internet Plug-Ins, Java, and an alias in PreferencePanes.
See this screenshot for the path structure.
Moving the files can be done manually or by modifying the installer package.
No, you will need admin rights to install that where it would be able to be used in the way you need it to be.
