  1. Download
    1. To find the latest version, go to the Tomcat downloads page:
    2. Find the latest Binary Distributions section, then the Core sub-heading, and click on 32-bit/64-bit Windows Service Installer.
  2. Install
    1. Run the installer.

    2. When prompted to Choose Install Location, set Destination Folder to a short folder name with no spaces. We recommend: c:/app/tomcat9.

      Warning

      Do not accept the default Destination Folder as this will result in path names that are too long and/or contain spaces. This will prevent the PhixFlow webapp from starting.


    3. Accept all other recommended defaults.
    4. Set the tomcat administrator password to something secure.
