Hey everybody, my name is Alison and today I will be showing you how to install
Tomcat 9 on Windows.
So, keep in mind before you install the Tomcat service, make sure you have either JDK
or JRE installed on the server in order for it to work.
The first thing we'll be doing is downloading the Tomcat 9 service so go ahead and open up your
browser and go to tomcat.apache.org and click enter.
In the left menu bar you'll see the different versions of available Tomcat. Today we're
going to click on Tomcat 9. Install that...
Scroll down a little bit and you'll see the wizard installer, the Windows Service Installer.
Go ahead and save that file. And then once you've saved that file to the server we're going
ahead and find it in the files.
Go to Downloads
Go to apache exe
So you're going to agree to the license here. And then for this install the type of install
we want is full so click on this link and scroll down to Full.
Okay, click Next.
Okay, so here, you can set a custom port if you want. Im going to leave 8080 because
its default, but if you prefer another port you can set it there. You can also set the
username and password if you want a username and password for the service. Im just going to
leave that blank for now. Click next.
So, when you have a JDK or JRE install this is the location that you will put in that path.
right there. And then on this one you choose the install location for the Tomcat service
itself, then click install and give it a few seconds
Ok! I'll uncheck Show Readme unless you want Readme information. Unclick Run Apache
Tomcat. Click Finish. Apache should be installed!
So, we will test that. Go to services.msc. And we want to make sure the service is running
Apache Tomcat 9... you will see the status right there is blank. You will want to go ahead and
right click and Start and now you can see the status change to Running
That service is running right now. The Tomcat service is installed and its running.
The next thing we'll want to do is test whether it can make a connection and whether
Tomcat recognizes it being installed. What we will do is go to localhost colon
and then that port number. For me it 8080 because I left it default, for you it might be a
custom port. Press Enter
It says If you're seeing this, you've successfully installed Tomcat. Congratulations!
So, you can see it's installed.
And thats it! Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoyed our video
