2. ⚙️ Configuring Initial Settings

Step 1: ☕ Set Up the Java Environment

Ensure that you have a compatible Java Development Kit (JDK) installed. JBoss EAP requires JDK 1.8 or later. Verify your Java installation with:

java -version

Step 2: 🚀 Start the JBoss Server

1. Navigate to the bin directory within your JBoss installation (EAP_HOME/bin).
2. Start the server:
   • On Linux/Mac:./standalone.sh
   • On Windows: standalone.bat

The server will start, and you can access the management console at http://localhost:9990.

Step 3: 👤 Create an Admin User

To access the management console, you’ll need to create an administrative user:

1. In the bin directory, run: ./add-user.sh
2. Follow the prompts to create a new user with administrative privileges.
