Install Tomcat on Linux using binary distribution

Install Tomcat on Linux

Aim:

In this tutorial, we will install Tomcat 9.0.21 on Linux.

Step 1: Installing JDK

  • Tomcat 9 requires Java 8 or later versions. Check Java installation: 
    $ java -version
  • If Java is not installed, run the following commands to install Java: 
    $ sudo apt-get update
    $ sudo apt-get install default-jdk -y
  • After installation, verify Java installation: 
    $ java -version

Step 2: Creating a Tomcat user and group

  • Create a group and user for Tomcat: 
    $ sudo groupadd tomcat
    $ sudo useradd -s /bin/false -g tomcat -d /opt/tomcat tomcat

Step 3: Download and Install Tomcat 9

  • Change directory to /opt and download Tomcat 9 to that directory: 
    $ cd /opt
    $ sudo wget https://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-9/v9.0.21/bin/apache-tomcat-9.0.21.tar.gz
  • Extract the tar package and rename the extracted directory to tomcat: 
    $ sudo tar -xvzf apache-tomcat-9.0.21.tar.gz
    $ sudo mv apache-tomcat-9.0.21 /opt/tomcat

Step 4: Set Up Path Variable and Start Tomcat

  • Navigate to the bin directory within Tomcat: 
    $ cd /opt/tomcat/bin
  • Add Tomcat's bin directory to the PATH variable (temporary): 
    $ export PATH=$PATH:$(pwd)
  • Start Tomcat using catalina.sh: 
    $ ./catalina.sh start
