Download <<selenium-grid-hub-standalone-1.0.8.jar>> file and set the classpath for the same. Open cmd prompt and type the below command:

C:\> java  com.thoughtworks.selenium.grid.hub.HubServer


This will start the SeleniumHubServer on default port which is 4444 and with default "Configured Environments". Once the HubServer is started successfully, the console is accessible at: 

http://localhost:4444/console


To start HubServer on specific port and to defined our own "Configured Environments", follow the below steps:

- Right click on <<selenium-grid-hub-standalone-1.0.8.jar>> and choose to extract the files into <<selenium-grid-hub-standalone-1.0.8>> folder.
- Open "selenium-grid-hub-standalone-1.0.8" folder and open the file <<grid_configuration.yml>>
- Change the "Port:" to 5555 (or as per requirement)
- In the "environments" section, the "Name" can be modified to appropriate name. EX:  
       - name:    "Firefox on Windows"
         browser: "*firefox"
- "remoteControlPollingIntervalInSeconds" and "sessionMaxIdleTimeInSeconds" can also be modified as per the requirement.
- Save the changes.
- Now build a new jar file.
To build a jar file:
  1. open cmd prompt.
  2. Change directory to the folder &lt;&gt;: cd selenium-grid-hub-standalone-1.0.8
  3. Use below command to make the jar file:
    jar -cf <<jar file name>> <<files to jar>>

    Ex: jar -cf     selenium-grid-hub-standalone-1.0.8.jar *.*
  4.  The above command will create a new jar file with the name selenium-grid-hub-standalone-1.0.8.jar into the folder <<selenium-grid-hub-standalone-1.0.8>>
  5. Change the classpath to point to newly created jar and start the HubServer. Observe that the HubServer is started on the new port and modified "Configured Environments" are listed.
