2.7.2. Use Automatic Installation Script (auto.xml) from Different Sources for Installing JBoss EAP 6

The installer can use the automatic installation script (auto.xml) from any of the network locations irrespective of where it is being run. Thus the installer (jboss-eap-6.x.x-installer.jar) and the automatic installation script (auto.xml) can be located on different machines. This topic covers the steps to install JBoss EAP 6 automatically from a different network location.
  • In a terminal type either of the following commands to specify the automatic installation script (present at a different network location) to your current network location.
    To access the installation script via HTTP, enter the following command, replacing network-host with the hostname of the FTP or HTTP server and auto.xml with the filename of the installation script. 
    java -jar jboss-eap-6.x.x-installer.jar http://network-host/auto.xml
    To access the installation script via FTP, enter the following command: 
    java -jar jboss-eap-6.x.x-installer.jar ftp://network-host/auto.xml
Result

JBoss EAP 6 is installed on your machine.
