Installing Apache Tomcat in Debian 11

Prerrequites

The following prerequisites are assumed:

Java is correctly installed in the machine.

The machine is correctly updated.

wget, vim, unzip are installed in the machine.

Download and Install Apache Tomcat

Goto https://tomcat.apache.org/download-10.cgi and download the .zip file. Donwload it to a designated directory using wget. In the case of this writing I used the following command to download the .zip file of the latest Tomcat release

$ cd /opt

$ mkdir download

$ cd download

$ wget https://dlcdn.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-10/v10.1.9/bin/apache-tomcat-10.1.9.zip

The previous commands leaves the apache-tomcat-10.0.23.zip file in the directory /opt/download. Unzip it and the result directory move to /opt

$ unzip apache-tomcat-10.1.9.zip

$ mv apache-tomcat-10.1.9 ..
