\section{Installing ejabberd with Binary Installer}
The easiest approach to install an ejabberd Instant Messaging server
is to use the graphical installer. The installer is available in
ejabberd Process-one
\footahref{http://www.process-one.net/en/ejabberd/downloads/}{downloads page}.
Probably the easiest way to install an ejabberd Instant Messaging server
is using the binary installer published by Process-one.
The binary installers of released ejabberd versions
are available in the Process-one ejabberd download page:
\ahrefurl{http://www.process-one.net/en/ejabberd/downloads}
The installer will deploy and configure a full featured ejabberd
server and does not require any extra dependencies.
The installer must be set executable and started. Example:
In *nix systems, remember to set executable the binary installer before starting it. For example:
\begin{verbatim}
wget http://www.process-one.net/downloads/ejabberd/1.1.4/ejabberd-1.1.4_2-linux-x86-installer.bin
chmod +x ejabberd-1.1.4_2-linux-x86-installer.bin
./ejabberd-1.1.4_2-linux-x86-installer.bin
chmod +x ejabberd-2.0.0_1-linux-x86-installer.bin

This option enables HTTP Binding (\xepref{0124} and \xepref{0206}) support. HTTP Bind
enables access via HTTP requests to \ejabberd{} from behind firewalls which
do not allow outgoing sockets on port 5222.
Remember that you must also install and enable the module mod\_http\_bind.
If HTTP Bind is enabled, it will be available at
\verb|http://server:port/http-bind/|. Be aware that support for HTTP Bind
is also needed in the \Jabber{} client. Remark also that HTTP Bind can be
interesting to host a web-based \Jabber{} client such as
\footahref{http://jwchat.sourceforge.net/}{JWChat} (there is a tutorial to
