Overview
In this tutorial, we will learn the steps involved to set JBOSS_HOME environment variable on Windows platform. This variable should point to the install location of the JBoss/Wildfly application server on the machine. We can set this variable after the JBoss install on the machine.

For example, if the Wildfly server is installed on c:\wildfly then we need to set this variable to:
JBOSS_HOME=C:\wildfly
Check on the machine if the variable is set. Open the command prompt and issue the following command.
\> echo %JBOSS_HOME%
If we get the same name displayed on the screen and not the real folder path, then the variable is not set on the machine.
