/****************************************************************************************** */

my elasticsearch.yml includes the following

# ---------------------------------- Network -----------------------------------
#
# Set the bind address to a specific IP (IPv4 or IPv6):
#
network.host: 127.0.0.1
#
# Set a custom port for HTTP:
#
http.port: 9200
#
# For more information, consult the network module documentation.
#
# --------------------------------- Discovery ----------------------------------
#
# Pass an initial list of hosts to perform discovery when this node is started:
# The default list of hosts is ["127.0.0.1", "[::1]"]
#
# discovery.seed_hosts: ["host-1"]
#
# Bootstrap the cluster using an initial set of master-eligible nodes:
#
node.name: node-1
cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["node-1"]
#
# For more information, consult the discovery and cluster formation module documentation.

If anyone could help me out with this. I have the openjdk version "11.0.7" on my PC.

As you have not provided the complete error/exception log, I would suggest the easiest tarball installation on ubuntu by following this official installation guide and follow this and this thread if you get startup errors mentioned in these threads.
