Tomcat Setup
Download and install Tomcat 8.5¶
-
Download Tomcat 8.5 from https://tomcat.apache.org/download-80.cgi
-
Get the most recent version of Tomcat 8.5
-
You only need the Core zip file.
-
Create the folder
~/SD/Tools/, if it doesn't exist.
mkdir ~/SD/Tools/
cdinto the folder, and move the downloaded Tomcat 8.5 zip to it:
cd ~/SD/Tools/
mv ~/Downloads/apache-tomcat-8.5.28.zip .
- Extract the zip, creating the Tomcat installation directory:
unzip -q apache-tomcat-8.5.28.zip
-
That's it for Tomcat, no further setup required.
-
Leave the ZIP file there - if something goes weird later, you can just remove the tomcat folder and re-extract from the ZIP.
