7. Install JBoss Developer Studio Stand-alone and JBoss EAP


A single installer is provided for both JBoss Developer Studio stand-alone and Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform. A specific JBoss EAP version is packaged in the installer; for details of the JBoss EAP version see https://access.redhat.com/articles/427493. This installer is available from a variety of sources, including the Red Hat Customer Portal.
Prerequisites

JBoss Developer Studio 9.0 can be installed using an older version of Java, but it requires Java 8 to run. Ensure that Java 8 is installed to use JBoss Developer Studio 9.0.

Install JBoss Developer Studio Stand-alone and JBoss EAP

To install JBoss Developer Studio stand-alone and JBoss EAP, complete the following steps:

    $ cd /path/to/.jar
    $ java -jar jboss-devstudio-version-installer-eap.jar
    Alternatively, you may be able to start the installer by double-clicking the .jar file. On OS X systems, hold control and click the .jar file, click Open, review the .jar file details and if satisfied click Open.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to continue the installation process.
  4. At installer step 5, when asked if you want to install JBoss EAP, click Yes.
