...

To install OpenEJB, simply download the latest release and unpack your zip or tar.gz into the directory where you want OpenEJB to live.

...

Linux users can download the tar.gz and unpack it with the following command:

tar xzvf openejb-0.8.3.tar.gz

Congradulations, you've installed OpenEJB.

...

Now all you need to do is move to the OPENEJB_HOME directory, the directory where OpenEJB was unpacked, and type:

openejb help

For Windows users, that looks like this:

C:\openejb> openejb help

For UNIX/Linux/Mac OS X users, that looks like this:

user@host openejb# ./openejb.sh help

You really only need to know two commands to use OpenEJB, deploy and start. Both are completely documented and have examples.

For help information and command options, try this:

openejb deploy -help
openejb start -help

For examples on using the command and options, try this:

openejb deploy -examples
openejb start -examples

That's it!

If you don't have any EJBs or clients to run, try the ubiquitous Hello World example.
