Two builds of Geronimo exist, with Jetty or Tomcat servlet container enabled by default. You can download either one at http://geronimo.apache.org/downloads.html, they are slightly larger than 60 MB in size. This document was written primarily using Jetty version, but Tomcat version works fine also.
Previous versions additionally included a GUI installer, which is not available on the download page now. However, you can build the installer from sources. You will get a geronimo-installer-1.1.jar file, 56 MB in size.

Installing Geronimo
You can easily install Geronimo using one of the following – the .zip archive, the .jar GUI installer or an installation script. Installation script is created by the GUI installer at the previous installation.
Installing from a .zip file
Extract the downloaded archive to a local directory. The geronimo-1.1 directory is created, that is your <GERONIMO> directory.
Installing with the .jar installer
Run:
| Panel | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
|
Click Next, read and accept the license agreement, and type in the directory you want Geronimo installed to. This directory will be your <GERONIMO> directory.
In the components list, deselect either Tomcat Web Container or Jetty Web Container to save yourself configuration effort, as you only need one servlet container to run SPECjAppServer2004.
Leave other settings intact. Click Next.
On the following tabs, leave the default values for the user name (system), password (manager) and port numbers, just click Next.
If you did not turn off one of the servlet containers earlier, make sure you provide different port numbers for them, otherwise they would conflict on that.
Wait until the installation completes, then click Next, and again Next.
At this stage, you may create an installation script to re-install Geronimo later.
Click Done.
Installing with an installation script
To re-install Geronimo (possibly, on a different machine) using the installation script created by GUI installer earlier, run the installer as follows:

The script doest not start GUI and asks for no additional settings, but just follows the pre-set installation scenario.
or .tar.gz archive.
Extract the downloaded archive to a local directory. The geronimo-1.1 directory is created, that is your <GERONIMO> directoryThe installation directory is the same as per the initial installation. If you wish to install to another location, edit the installation script beforehand: change the <installpath> tag value to the desired <GERONIMO> location.
