download PDF

Task: Install the Platform using the Graphical Installer on Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Microsoft Windows

Complete this task to install the platform using the Graphical Installer.

Prerequisites

  1. Download software

    Refer to Appendix A, The Red Hat Customer Portal for file download instructions.
    To install JBoss Enterprise Application Platform via the Graphical Installer, choose the Application Platform <release> Binary Installer download.

  2. Run the installer

    Execute the following command in the directory that contains the downloaded installer JAR: 
    java -jar jboss-eap-installer-<release>.jar

  3. Language

    Choose the language for the installation instructions.

  4. License Agreement

    Read the License Agreement carefully. You must accept the terms of the agreement to proceed with the installation. If you agree to the terms of the agreement, select the "I accept the terms of this license agreement" option.

  5. Installation Path

    Select the destination directory for JBoss Enterprise Application Platform. Type a complete path or browse for a destination directory. If the directory you enter does not exist, the installer creates the target directory in the specified path. If the directory exists already, the installer will overwrite the contents of the directory. In either case the installer prompts you to confirm the action.

    Linux
    In Linux-based installations, the default installation path (which is used if another location is not chosen by the user) depends on the filesystem privileges of the user account performing the intstallation:
    • If the user has write access to /usr/local/, then this is the installation path used.
    • If the user does not have write access to /usr/local/, then the default installation path is: /home/[username]/EnterprisePlatform-[version]
    Windows
    The default installation path in Windows Server is: C:\Program Files\EnterprisePlatform-[version]

  6. Java Messaging Service and Web Services

    In the top part of this dialog, select the Java Messaging Service that you wish to install. The two available options are JBoss Messaging and HornetQ. Only one service can be selected.
    Below, select the Web Services stack you wish to install. The two choices are WSNative and WSCXF. Only one stack can be selected. Changing the Web Services stack after installation requires reinstalling.
    Refer to Chapter 8, Optional Components for a description of the alternatives.

  7. Select Packs

    There is one optional component to choose in this step: PicketLink.
    To install PicketLink:
    1. Click on eap-core.
    2. Click the arrow to the left of eap-core to expand the options.
    3. Click the picketlink-federation checkbox.

  8. JMX Security

    The installer creates a new JAAS security domain with an active user.
    Optional: secure consoles and invokers using this security domain.
    1. Supply a password for the admin user in the new JAAS security domain.
    2. Optional: change the username for the JAAS security domain admin user.
    3. Optional: change the name of the JAAS security domain.
    4. Optional: secure the JMX and Web consoles, and http and jmx invokers using the new JAAS security domain. The default is to secure all consoles and invokers.
    Result

    The JAAS security domain is created and used to secure the Admin console and Tomcat console. The JAAS security domain is also used to secure any consoles and invokers specified in this step.

  9. Release Notes

    Updated release notes are available at http://docs.redhat.com.

  10. Confirm Selections

    Review the installation selections, then click Next to begin writing files to disk.

  11. Set up Shortcuts

    Create desktop and start menu shortcuts on this screen. If you are running the installer as the administrator (Windows) or root user (Linux), you have the option to create desktop and start menu shortcuts for all users; otherwise you are able to create shortcuts for the currently logged in user only.

  12. Optional: Install Native Components

    Refer to Section 8.3, “Native Components” for Native Component installation instructions.

  13. Perform post-installation configuration

    At this point, you have JBoss Enterprise Application Platform installed. It is now recommended to perform post-installation configuration of the platform according to instructions in the Administration and Configuration Guide. For instructions on how to configure the platform's security, refer to the Security Guide.
