+
 
+
== Prerequisites ==
+
 
+
=== Hardware ===
+
 
+
* 7.1 MB of disk space for Jetty source
+
* 7.3 MB for Jetty 7 binaries
+
 
+
=== Operating System ===
+
 
+
* Any operating system that supports J2SE 1.5 or greater.
+
 
+
=== Environment ===
+
 
+
* J2SE 1.5 or [http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp greater]
+
 
+
== Download and Unpack ==
+
 
+
# Download the latest Jetty from [http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/downloads.php Eclipse]. From the download site, select the version you want and follow the prompts to '''Save''' it on your system.
+
# Unzip it into a directory of your choice. Now it is ready to start running.
+
 
+
=== Starting Jetty ===
+
 
+
To start Jetty open a command shell, go to your Jetty installation directory, and type:
+
java -jar start.jar
+
 
+
This starts Jetty running on port 8080.
+
 
+
{{warn
+
|Jetty will not start if another process is using port 8080. The port number can be changed by editing the <tt>$JETTY_HOME/etc/jetty.xml</tt> file. Please see the [[#Setting Jetty's Port]] section below or for more details see [[Configuring Jetty]]. The rest of the instructions in this wiki will assume that you are using port 8080}}
+
 
+
=== Stopping Jetty ===
+
 
+
From the command shell where Jetty is running type: <tt><ctrl-c></tt>.
+
 
+
=== Testing Jetty ===
+
 
+
When Jetty starts, it deploys a test web application on port 8080.  To check if Jetty is running properly navigate to the <var>test</var> URL from a browser. For example:
+
 
+
http://localhost:8080/test
+
 
+
{{note
+
|If you started Jetty on another host, substitute that host name for <var>localhost</var>. If you used a different port number you will also need to change <var>8080</var> to the correct number. Unless otherwise noted, the rest of the instructions in this wiki will assume that you are using <var>localhost</var> and port <var>8080</var>
+
}}
+
 
+
=== Setting Jetty's Port ===
+
 
+
To change Jetty's default port, edit <tt>$JETTY_HOME/etc/jetty.xml</tt> and change the port number in this line, then start Jetty:
+
<source lang="xml">
+
<Set name="port"><SystemProperty name="jetty.port" default="8080"/></Set>
+
</source>
+
Alternatively you can set the port on the command line. Please see [[Configuring Jetty]] for more details.
