To install OpenEJB, simply download the latest releasebinary 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-3.0.0.tar.gz

Congratulations, you've installed OpenEJB.

If you've unpacked OpenEJB into the directory C:\openejb-3.0.0, for example, then this directory is your OPENEJB_HOME directory. The OPENEJB_HOME directory is referred to in various parts of the documentation, so it's good to remember where it is.

...

For Windows users, that looks like this:

C:\openejb-3.0.0> bin\openejb

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

user@host openejb-3.0.0# ./bin/openejb

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

...

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