Download and unpack the application server

Download

To install an application server, obtain or download an archive file (ZIP or tar.gz) in your desired version that must be supported by ImageMaster according to the [T Compatibility Guide] from a source like below:

WildFly: https://www.wildfly.org/downloads/

For ImageMaster use the EE 8 distribution of WildFly (distribution name: “Jakarta EE Full & Web Distribution”) and not any preview variant (like “Preview EE 9.1 Distribution”).
JBoss: https://developers.redhat.com/products/eap/download

Unpack and set JBOSS_HOME environment variable

Unpack the downloaded file in a designated home directory and set the variable JBOSS_HOME in your environment so it points to the extracted directory that is illustrated below.

This may result in a directory structure as shown below (e.g. for WildFly):

# cd /opt/wildfly/
# ll
total 536
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root   4096 Jan  5 13:10 appclient
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root   4096 Jan  5 13:10 bin
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root   2451 Jan  5 13:10 copyright.txt

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  26530 Jan  5 13:10 LICENSE.txt
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root   4096 Jan  5 13:10 modules
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root   2221 Jan  5 13:10 README.txt
drwxr-xr-x. 6 root root   4096 Jan  5 13:10 standalone
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root   4096 Jan  5 13:10 welcome-content

There can be slight differences in the structure for JBoss but most should be the same.

Note: In particular on Windows avoid any whitespace characters in the installation path that you choose as application server home directory!

If the path to the home directory includes any whitespace under Windows, the required CSS file is not loaded and the ImageMaster web clients (AdminClient and WorkplaceClient) do not work properly.
