I recently had to install Tomcat for Web Technologies class where we are exploring the world of Servlets and JSPs. I performed the following steps to setup Tomcat 5.5 on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger).
- Download the core binary distribution of Tomcat from http://tomcat.apache.org in zip or tar.gz format.
- Unzip the download and rename it to Tomcat.
- Move the folder to the /Library directory.
- Create a file named tomcat in your favorite text editor, copy the startup script from below, and save the file in /usr/bin.
