Wildfly can be installed very quick using Homebrew:
I’ve written a short article on installing and using Homebrew here

==> Caveats
The home of WildFly Application Server 8 is:
/usr/local/opt/wildfly-as/libexec
You may want to add the following to your .bash_profile:
export JBOSS_HOME=/usr/local/opt/wildfly-as/libexec
export PATH=${PATH}:${JBOSS_HOME}/bin
==> Summary
🍺 /usr/local/Cellar/wildfly-as/8.0.0.Final: 1022 files, 154M, built in 73 seconds


That’s it – Wildfly downloadd & installed in roughly about a minute 🙂

After adding the variables to my environment:
