Tomcat Install

On Windows systems, download the 64-bit Windows zip file from the following address:
http://tomcat.apache.org/download-90.cgi

Unzip the downloaded file and move the created directory to a location of your choice.

If you run startup.bat in the bin subdirectory of the Tomcat installation directory, Tomcat will run, and if you run shutdown.bat, Tomcat will shut down.

C:\apache-tomcat-9.0.87\bin> .\startup.bat

C:\apache-tomcat-9.0.87\bin> .\shutdown.bat

Set the Tomcat administrator username and password. Open the tomcat-users.xml in CATALINA_HOME/conf directory to add the followings.

<role rolename="manager-gui">
<user username="username" password="password" roles="manager-gui" />

CATALINA_HOME represents the root directory of your Tomcat installation.

Visit http://localhost:8080.

If you see a cat, installation is a success. The screen showing the cat is the homepage of Tomcat's ROOT application. The location of the ROOT application is CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT.
