Download GlassFish
Check the GlassFish website for the latest version and download it (URL may be different depending on version):wget http://java.net/download/javaee5/v2ur2/promoted/Linux/glassfish-installer-v2ur2-b04-linux.jarInstall GlassFish
Install GlassFish by running:java -jar -mx256M glassfish-installer-v2-b09.jarFor convenience it might be nice to move GlassFish to a version independent directory name and make symlink (will make future upgrades easier as well):
mv glassfish /opt/glassfish-v2ur2-b09
ln -s /opt/glassfish-v2ur2-b09 /opt/glassfishNow setup GlassFish:
cd /opt/glassfish
/opt/glassfish/lib/ant/bin/ant -f setup.xmlIf you get an permission error, make sure ANT is executable (note that this is just a standard ANT, if you already have ANT you may use that one instead):
chmod u+x /opt/glassfish/lib/ant/bin/antStart the application server by running:
/opt/glassfish/bin/asadmin start-domain
Verify that you may reach http://localhost:8080 and http://localhost:4848 (replace localhost if server is somewhere else).
Finally it might be a good idea to change the default admin password:
/opt/glassfish/bin/asadmin change-admin-password --user admin
Create init script
Based on the/etc/init.d/skeleton I created the following init-script:

glassfish, then run:cd /etc/init.d
update-rc.d glassfish defaultsSet executable permission on init script with
chmod a+x glassfish .That’s it!
These instructions are very much based on similar posts by Jasper Kalkers Installing Glassfish 2 on ubuntu 7.10 and Cay Horstmann Installing GlassFish and PostgreSQL on Ubuntu Server Edition.
