In this tutorials, we are going to learn on how to install Jboss Application Server 7 on Linux(64-bit) platform. The first step is to install the JDK. Download the JDK from here.
download-jdk
We will be performing all administration tasks as a JBOSS user on the Linux operating system. So use the following link to create a user and group with the name ‘jboss‘.
Once the user ‘jboss‘ is created, go to the jboss home directory and extract the JDK.
cd /home/jboss/ tar -xvzf $software/jdk-7u17-linux-x64.gz
Once extracted, you will see the JDK directory under /home/jboss directory: jdk1.7.0_XX.
The next step is to download the JBOSS AS 7 package from the following link:
download-jboss
Once downloaded: Extract the package
cd /home/jboss/ unzip $software/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final.zip
Once extracted, you will see the jbossAS directory under /home/jboss directory: jboss-as-7.1.1.Final
Next step is to make sure that the installation is successful by performing a simple start of the standalone server.
Cd /home/jboss/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/bin directory and execute the script to start a standalone server:
./standalone.sh &
jboss-standalone-startup
Check for any errors in the output. That`s it we have successfully installed jboss application server on a 64-bit operating system and verified it by starting the standalone server.
