How To Install Tomcat
Tomcat can be installed in any platforms, Linux, Windows or Macintosh as long as there’s Java runtime installed on the machine. Compared to some of the other servers and services like Apache and Samba, Tomcat is relatively easy to install and configure in any linux distribution.
To install Tomcat directly from the source, we need to have the latest JDK and ant tool available on the system. Depending on the linux distribution, JDK might already be installed in the system
You can install tomcat manually as well as by using easy apache.
