I only want it to work on my Synology 1812+ NAS. I'm trying to bypass the computer completely.

I have downloaded the correct Java 6 version, but it won't install. I keep getting "invalid file type" when I go into the Synology app interface to install it.

To install Java on the Synology, please follow exactly the steps under the Instructions section from this page. If you have problems with any of these steps, we will help you along.
In particular, you can't directly install the downloaded Java archive via the package center, but you have to put the archive file in the public shared folder and then you can install the "Java SE for Embedded" package for Synology NAS.
