Installing Forge
In order to install Forge, you need to perform the following steps:
1. Download and unzip Forge from
http://forge.jboss.org/
into a folder on your hard
disk; this folder will be your
FORGE_HOME
.
2. Add
FORGE_HOME/bin
to your path (Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X).
In Unix-based operating systems, this typically means editing your
~/.bashrc
or
~/
.profile; you will need to enter the following code snippet:
export FORGE_HOME=~/forge/
export PATH=$PATH:$FORGE_HOME/bin
In Windows systems, you will need to open the
Control Panel
window, then navigate to
System Properties

ally. It is recommended to set user variables for Forge, unless you have placed the unzipped
distribution in a folder where all users can access it.
