Red Hat SummitChapter 1. JBoss EAP 8.0 installation methods
You can install JBoss EAP 8.0 using the following methods:
- Archive installation
- JBoss EAP Installation Manager
- GUI installer
- RPM installation
From JBoss EAP 8.0 onward, the JBoss EAP Installation Manager and Graphical (GUI) installer methods support both online and offline installation modes.
- Online installation: You can install JBoss EAP 8.x directly from an online repository. You must have access to the Red Hat repositories or their mirrors to use the online option. When using this mode, the resulting server will always be the latest available JBoss EAP 8.0 update.
- Offline installation: You can install JBoss EAP 8.x from a local file-system. Use the offline installation mode if you do not have access to the Red Hat repositories or their mirrors or want to install a specific JBoss EAP update. After the installation, you may need to perform an update step to use the latest version of JBoss EAP 8.x.
Depending on your requirements, choose the installation method. The following table provides a brief overview of each type of installation method.

1.1. Understanding channels in JBoss EAP
The jboss-eap-installation-manager provides a streamlined and controlled pathway to access the most recent supported versions of JBoss EAP components. These streamlined and controlled pathways are called channels. A channel consists of a curated list of component versions (called channel manifest) and a collection of repositories used to resolve and retrieve those components. Each repository has a unique name (id) and a default Maven repository URL. The jboss-eap-installation-manager allows you to manage these channels effectively in both stand-alone and managed domain configurations.
