The following table describes options frequently used for Ambari Server setup.

Option Description

Option	Description
-j --java-home	Specifies the JAVA_HOME path to use on the Ambari Server and all hosts in the cluster. Use this option when you are using local repositories. For more information, see Optional: Configure the Local Repositories. This path must be valid on all hosts and you must also specify this path when performing your cluster install. See Installing, Configuring and Deploying the Cluster: Install Options for more information. For example: ambari-server setup –j /usr/java/default By default when you do not specify this option, Setup automatically downloads the JDK binary to `/var/lib/ambari-server/resources` and installs the JDK to `/usr/jdk64`.
