Setting up Tomcat in Linux Install the latest version of Tomcat (version 7.0 as of writing this document) using the instructions provided here. Download the tar.gz file: http://tomcat.apache.org/download-70.cgi

Open the command line and go to the location where the file is located.(Login as the super user if required). Extract the contents of the tar.gz file and move the extracted folder to the location where you want to install Tomcat. We will install it in /usr/local

>tar xvzf apache-tomcat-7.0.14.tar.gz >mv apache-tomcat-7.0.14 /usr/local Now go to the installed directory and run the startup.sh script to start Tomcat

>cd /usr/local/apache-tomcat-7.0.14 /usr/local/apache-tomcat-7.0.14>./bin/startup.sh

Open your browser and check if you can see the Tomcat startup page by going to the location: http://localhost:8080/
