Excerpt

  1. Download

    1. To find the latest version, go to the Tomcat downloads page: https://tomcat.apache.org/download-90.cgi
    2. Find the latest Binary Distributions section, then the Core sub-heading, and copy the tar.gz link.

    3. To download Tomcat, on the Linux server, go to the tmp directory. Use the curl command to download from the the tar.gz link.

      Code Block
      cd /tmp
curl -O httphttps://mirror.ox.ac.uk/sites/rsyncdownloads.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-9/v9.0.3897/bin/apache-tomcat-9.0.3897.tar.gz


  2. Install

    1. Unpack the Tomcat tar.gz file into /opt/tomcat.

      Code Block
      sudo mkdir /opt/tomcat
cd /opt/tomcat
sudo tar xvf /tmp/apache-tomcat-9*tar.gz --strip-components=1


      This creates the tomcat folders (conf, logs, webapps etc.) directly under /opt/tomcat.

    2. Set the file ownership and permissions.

      Code Block
      cd /opt/tomcat
sudo chown -R tomcat webapps/ work/ temp/ logs/
sudo chgrp -R tomcat .
sudo chmod -R g+r conf
sudo chmod g+x conf
