How to I install Glassfish on Ubuntu from the command line?

Question

I have a Linux machine (Ubuntu) and I installed GlassFish and everything worked fine. The thing is, I was using Linux from the desktop UI and the installer featured a graphical wizard.

I am wondering, if I create a Linux virtual machine on Amazon EC2 or Rackspace, I can only access the Linux from the command line using SSH.

How do I install GlassFish from the command line? Won't the graphic install wizard attempt to display and fail?

Any help is appreciated.

You could use X forwarding when connecting with SSH. Then, the graphical installer should work.

sudo aptitude install glassfish, assuming the package name is glassfish. Whether you connect over SSH or not is completely irrelevant.
