Jetty/Starting/Downloads
Contents
Introduction
You can download Jetty as a distribution bundle, a Maven dependency, an OSGi bundle, or install it via a Debian/RPM distribution. When you download and unpack the binary, it is extracted into a directory called jetty-distribution-VERSION. Put this directory into a convenient location. The rest of the instructions in this wiki will refer to this location as either JETTY_HOME or as $(jetty.home).
