Renowned for its adherence to industry standards, scalability, and rich feature set, JBoss EAP is a trusted platform for developing, deploying, and managing enterprise-grade Java applications. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of installing JBoss EAP on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), ensuring a seamless integration into your development environment.

Prerequisites: Before diving into the installation process, ensure you have the following:

• A Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) machine with Java installed in it, you can refer this to INSTALLING JAVA ARTICLE
