Chapter 8. Performing Advanced Installation Tasks

This section describes how to install JBoss Developer Studio using a script and how to build the JBoss Developer Studio installer from source code.

Use the scripted method to install JBoss Developer Studio stand-alone using the GUI once and then a generated script for subsequent installations. This installation method enables simplified repeat installations or installations in bulk without stepping through the installer GUI for every installation.

The JBoss Developer Studio stand-alone installer is available from a variety of sources, including the Red Hat Customer Portal.

To install JBoss Developer Studio by script, complete the following steps:

  1. Download Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio 10.1 Stand-alone Installer from JBoss Developer Studio Software Downloads.

  2. Start the installer as follows: 

    $ cd /path/to/.jar
$ java -jar devstudio-10.1-installer-standalone.jar
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.

    After the installation is complete, an InstallConfigRecord.xml file is generated in the /path/to/devstudio/ directory.

  4. In the terminal window, enter the following command: 

    $ java -jar devstudio-10.1-installer-standalone.jar \
  /path/to/devstudio/InstallConfigRecord.xml
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Note

    The generated InstallConfigRecord.xml file is machine-specific and uses the Java Developer Kit and installation paths of your system. To use the InstallConfigRecord.xml file for systems with different operating systems, Java Developer Kits, or paths, you must manually modify the file.

A .zip file is provided from which you can build the JBoss Developer Studio stand-alone installer. The source code archive is available from a variety of sources, including the Red Hat Customer Portal.

Note

It is easier to build the installer from the https://github.com/jbdevstudio/jbdevstudio-product repository instead of the source ZIP file.

Important

Maven must be installed to build the installer from the source code. Also, ensure that you are using Maven 3.2 or later, with Java 8 or later. To obtain and configure Maven, see http://maven.apache.org/.

To build the JBoss Developer Studio stand-alone installer from source:

  1. Download the Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio 10.1 Stand-alone Installer from JBoss Developer Studio Software Downloads.

  2. Extract the contents of the downloaded file by running the following commands: 

    $ cd path/to/.zip
$ unzip devstudio-10.1-src.zip
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  3. Build the installer by following the instructions in the README.how-to-build-from-sources-zip.txt file.
Note

The README.how-to-build-from-sources-zip.txt file is located in the extracted current folder at the highest level.

Building takes some time to complete, after which the installer.jar file will be located in the /path/to/devstudio-10.1-src/jbdevstudio-product-SHA-checksum}/installer/target directory.
