Download and install the JDK: wget -no-cookies -no-check-certificate -header 'Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie' '-O /opt/jdk-8-linux-x64.rpm yum install /opt/jdk-8-linux-x64.rpm Set JAVAHOME and add it to your PATH: Create a file in /etc/profile.d to store java settings: sudo touch /etc/profile.d/java.sh vi /etc/profile.d/java.sh Add the lines: export JAVAHOME=/usr/java/latest export PATH=$JAVAHOME/bin:$PATH Install Jetty Web Server Note: Check for the. Download and install Jetty: wget tar -zxvf jetty-distribution-9.3.14.v20161028.tar.gz mv jetty-distribution-9.3.14.v20161028 /opt/jetty-9.3.14 ln -s /opt/jetty-9.3.14 /opt/jetty Note: creating a soft link for your /opt/jetty install will be very useful later when you want to upgrade your version of Jetty. All you will need to do to upgrade is just download the tar.gz of the newest version, unpack it, and point the soft link to the new folder. Forgot password for mac desktop.
