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,

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).

Here are the easy to follow steps to get it up and running on your Mac

Starting and stoping Tomcat works with executing the provided scripts, like so:
/Library/Tomcat/bin/startup.sh
Apache Tomcat Download Windows
