Trying to delete existing version of JAVA on this system and re-establish JAVA 6 needed to support an application I need.

Trying to delete existing version of JAVA on this system and re-establish JAVA 6 needed to support an application I need. I followed steps outlined on Apple site using terminal command but when I get to last command (sudo ln -sf /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Commands/javaws /usr/bin/javaws) it says not permitted ? Any ideas how I can do this ?

iMac, macOS 10.12

You shouldn't need to remove anything beforehand. Just download Java 6 and install it.
