To deploy the Tomcat server, you can follow these steps:

  1. Download Tomcat: First, you need to download the Tomcat version that is compatible with your operating system from the official Tomcat website (https://tomcat.apache.org/).
  2. Unpack Tomcat: Extract the downloaded Tomcat compressed file into the directory where you want to deploy the server.
  3. Configure environment variables (optional): To facilitate the use of Tomcat commands, you can add the path to the Tomcat bin directory to the system’s environment variables.
  4. Modify configuration files (optional): You can adjust Tomcat’s configuration files, such as server.xml, web.xml, as needed. These files are located in the conf directory of Tomcat.
  5. Start Tomcat: Open the command line terminal, navigate to the bin directory of Tomcat, and execute the following command to start the Tomcat server:
  6. Windows: Run startup.bat
  7. For Linux/Mac: Run the command ./startup.sh.
  8. Check Tomcat startup: open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8080, if you see the Tomcat welcome page, it means Tomcat has been successfully started.
  9. Deploying applications: Copy your Java Web application (war file or unpacked folder) into the webapps directory of Tomcat.
  10. Access the application: Access your application in the browser by visiting http://localhost:8080/ based on the context path of your application.
