I’m running 64 bit OS X 10.9 (client, not server). I’m trying to sort out which version of Java I should install. I will not be doing any Java development on this computer. thanks

In the Wowza java installation instructions, I go to:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
… click on Server JRE:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/server-jre8-downloads-2133154.html
… but there are no OS X installers, just:
Linux x64 55.56 MB server-jre-8u5-linux-x64.tar.gz
Solaris SPARC 64-bit 66.13 MB server-jre-8u5-solaris-sparcv9.tar.gz
Solaris x64 63.79 MB server-jre-8u5-solaris-x64.tar.gz
Windows x64 52.28 MB server-jre-8u5-windows-x64.tar.gz
Clicking JRE takes me to:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html

… and has:
Mac OS X x64 56.61 MB jre-8u5-macosx-x64.dmg
Clicking JDK takes me to:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html

… and has:
