Step 1  Download and Install Tomcat

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 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.Set the Tomcat administrator password to something secure.
