1) By maven pom.xml file

Currently maven is widely used in java development. So I will recommend you to use maven for developing jsoup application.

To install jsoup using maven, add given dependency in pom.xml file.

1. <dependency>  
2.   <groupId>org.jsoup</groupId>  
3.   <artifactId>jsoup</artifactId>  
4.   <version>1.8.1</version>  
5. </dependency>  

If you are not using maven framework, you can download the jsoup.jar file.

Now you need to set classpath of jsoup.jar file. Write following command on console.

1. set classpath=jsoup-1.8.1.jar;.;%classpath%
