To Install Jython as Standalone

You can download Jython and install it as a standalone product. If Jython is installed as standalone, you need to perform additional configuration steps so GlassFish Server can use the Jython installation.

1. Download Jython from the following location:

   http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/jython/jython/2.5.1/jython_installer-2.5.1.jar

2. Run the installer as follows:

   java -jar jython_installer-2.5.1.jar

3. Set the following environmental variables:

   Set the JYTHON_HOME variable to the Jython install location:

   export JYTHON_HOME=jython-install-location

   Add the JYTHON_HOME/bin directory to the path:

   export PATH=$JYTHON_HOME/bin:$PATH

   You should now be able to invoke Jython from command line as follows:

   jython

4. Configure GlassFish Server to use the Jython installation with the following command:

   asadmin deploy --property jython.home=jython-install-location
