To install GlassFish, go to https://glassfish.dev.java.net/public/downloadsindex.html to download the current application.

1. Get the appropriate binary build installer for your platform.
   The DVN uses V2-UR1 at this time; therefore, for a Linux OS the installer to use is glassfish-installer-v2ur1-b09d-linux.jar.
2. Set the JAVA_HOME variable to your JDK 6 directory, /usr/java/<jdk 1.6 directory>.
3. To initiate the GlassFish installation, ensure that you have an X-Windows server on a host that can receive the licensing agreement. The recommended host is a VM running Linux and X-Windows on a PC.
   If you do not have an X-Windows server running, the installation cannot provide feedback.
4. Type the command java -Xmx256m -jar <filename>.jar.
   For example, type java -Xmx256m -jar glassfish-installer-v2ur1-b09d-linux.jar.
5. When the glassfish directory is created by the jar file, change to that directory.
   Type cd glassfish.
6. Use the Ant tool to execute the setup script. You can use the version in the GlassFish distribution located in the folder glassfish/lib/ant.
   Type the following:
   set ANT_HOME=glassfish
chmod -R +x lib/ant/bin
lib/ant/bin/ant -f setup.xml
