1. Download the jboss application server from here.

2. Unzip the package and extract the folders

3. Set up the your bash_profile like the following:

   open -a TextEdit ~/.bash_profile

4. In your bash_profile add the following variables:

   export JBOSS_HOME=/Users/$USER/Desktop/Servers/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final
   JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.7`
