Install TomCat in Linuxmint
To install Apache Tomcat on Linux Mint, you can follow these steps:
Open a Terminal: You can open the Terminal in Linux Mint by pressing
Ctrl+Alt+T
or by searching for it in the application menu.Update the Package List: It's always a good practice to update the package list to ensure you're installing the latest available version. Run the following command:
bashsudo apt update
Install OpenJDK: Apache Tomcat requires Java to run. You can install OpenJDK, which is an open-source implementation of Java, using the following command:
bashsudo apt install default-jdk
Download Apache Tomcat:
- Visit the Apache Tomcat download page at https://tomcat.apache.org/download-90.cgi (replace "90" with the version you want to download).
- Under "Binary Distributions," download the latest version of "Core" for your preferred format (usually a .tar.gz file).
Extract Tomcat: Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the Tomcat archive file (e.g.,
~/Downloads
) and use the following command to extract it:bashtar -zxvf apache-tomcat-9.x.x.tar.gz
Replace
apache-tomcat-9.x.x.tar.gz
with the actual file name you downloaded.Move Tomcat to a Preferred Location: You can move the extracted Tomcat directory to a location of your choice. For example, you can move it to
/opt
:bashsudo mv apache-tomcat-9.x.x /opt/tomcat
Create a Symbolic Link: To easily manage Tomcat, create a symbolic link to the Tomcat directory. This step is optional but can be convenient:
bashsudo ln -s /opt/tomcat /usr/local/tomcat
Configure Environment Variables: To ensure that Tomcat can find the Java installation, you need to set the
JAVA_HOME
environment variable. Edit thecatalina.sh
script to set this variable:bashsudo nano /opt/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh
Add the following line near the top of the file, just after
#!/bin/sh
:bashexport JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java
Save the file and exit the text editor.
Start Tomcat: You can now start Apache Tomcat using the following command:
bash/opt/tomcat/bin/startup.sh
Access the Tomcat Manager: Open a web browser and go to
http://localhost:8080
to access the Tomcat Manager. You should see the Tomcat homepage.
That's it! You've successfully installed Apache Tomcat on your Linux Mint system. You can now deploy web applications to Tomcat and manage it using the Tomcat Manager web interface.
If Apache Tomcat is prompting for a username and password when you try to access the Tomcat Manager, you need to configure user authentication. By default, Tomcat requires authentication to access the Manager application for security reasons. To configure user authentication, follow these steps:
Create a User: Open a terminal and navigate to the
tomcat
directory:bashcd /opt/tomcat
Then, open the
conf/tomcat-users.xml
file for editing:bashsudo nano conf/tomcat-users.xml
Add a user with the necessary roles (e.g.,
manager-gui
,admin-gui
) to this file. Below is an example of a user with both roles:xml<tomcat-users> <user username="admin" password="your_password" roles="manager-gui,admin-gui"/> </tomcat-users>
Replace
"admin"
with your desired username and"your_password"
with your desired password.Save the file and exit the text editor.
Restart Tomcat: After adding the user, you need to restart Tomcat for the changes to take effect:
bash/opt/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh /opt/tomcat/bin/startup.sh
Access the Manager Again: Open a web browser and go to
http://localhost:8080
orhttp://localhost:8080/manager
(for the Manager app specifically). When prompted for a username and password, enter the credentials you configured in thetomcat-users.xml
file.
You should now be able to access the Tomcat Manager using the provided username and password.
Remember to choose a strong password and keep your credentials secure, as they control access to the Tomcat Manager, which can perform administrative tasks on your Tomcat server.
