If there is already a Tomcat folder (presumably from an out-of-date installation), delete all the files already in that folder. Step 2: Extract tomcat archive. Copy all the unstuffed files from the jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27.tar.gz download and put all the files into the Tomcat folder. I just named it Tomcat as it saves some typing in the Terminal.

The Servlet 4.0 specification is out and Tomcat 9.0.x does support it. Time to dive into Tomcat 9.
Prerequisite: Java
Since OS X 10.7 Java is not (pre-)installed anymore, let’s fix that first. As I’m writing this, Java 11.0.1 is the latest version and AdoptOpenJDK is one of the best places to find Prebuilt OpenJDK Binaries. Easy to follow details about how to install OpenJDK are available here. Anyway, after opening the Terminal app again,
hopefully shows something like this:
Whatever you do, when opening Terminal and running ‘java -version’, you should see something like this, with a version of at least 1.8.x I.e. Tomcat 9.x requires Java 8 or later.
sudo is a program for Unix-like operating systems, allowing you to run programs with the security privileges of another user (normally the superuser, or root). Since we are creating directories, outside of your home folder, administrator right are required. I.e., when executing sudo you will be asked to enter your password; and your Mac User account needs to be an ‘Admin’ account.
JAVA_HOME is an important environment variable, not just for Tomcat, and it’s important to get it right. Here is a trick that allows me to keep the environment variable current, even after a Java Update was installed. In ~/.bash_profile, I set the variable like so:
Installing Tomcat
Here are the easy to follow steps to get it up and running on your Mac
- Download a binary distribution of the core module: apache-tomcat-9.0.35 from here. I picked the tar.gz in Binary Distributions / Core section.
- Opening/unarchiving the archive will create a new folder structure in your Downloads folder: (btw, this free Unarchiver app is perfect for all kinds of compressed files and superior to the built-in Archive Utility.app)
~/Downloads/apache-tomcat-9.0.35 - Open to Terminal app to move the unarchived distribution to /usr/local
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local
sudo mv ~/Downloads/apache-tomcat-9.0.35 /usr/local
- To make it easy to replace this release with future releases, we are going to create a symbolic link that we are going to use when referring to Tomcat (after removing the old link, you might have from installing a previous version):
sudo rm -f /Library/Tomcat
sudo ln -s /usr/local/apache-tomcat-9.0.35 /Library/Tomcat
- Change ownership of the /Library/Tomcat folder hierarchy:
sudo chown -R <your_username> /Library/Tomcat
- Make all scripts executable:
sudo chmod +x /Library/Tomcat/bin/*.sh

Tomcat 9.x
Starting and stoping Tomcat works with executing the provided scripts, like so:
/Library/Tomcat/bin/startup.sh
/Library/Tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh
Finally, after your started Tomcat, open your Mac’s Web browser and take a look at the default page: http://localhost:8080

Verify the Integrity of the Files
You mustverify the integrity of the downloaded files. We provide OpenPGP signatures for every release file. This signature should be matched against the KEYS file which contains the OpenPGP keys of Tomcat's Release Managers. We also provide
SHA512
checksums for every release file. After you download the file, you should calculate a checksum for your download, and make sure it is the same as ours.
