Installing Tomcat from the RPM repository

Install Tomcat with its default configuration using RPM.

Before you begin

Import the PGP key to validate the signature of the installation files. See Importing the PGP key.
Tomcat requires Java 8. You can use either Oracle Java or OpenJDK.
Make sure that the JAVA_HOME variable is correctly set to the Java home directory. For example: /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_181-amd64.
Information noteTip: You can set it in the /root/.bashrc file by adding the following line to it: export JAVA_HOME=$(dirname $(dirname $(readlink -e /usr/bin/java))).

The default installation also installs the following dependencies:

which

In case of custom installation, these dependencies must be installed beforehand.

Procedure

Create a file called talend.repo in the /etc/yum.repos.d directory, containing the following configuration:
```
[talend-7.3.1]
name=Talend 7.3.1
baseurl='https://<user>:<password>@www.opensourceetl.net/rpms/talend/7.3.1/base/x86_64/'
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://www.opensourceetl.net/rpms/GPG-KEY-talend
```
Credentials (user and password) are provided in the license email sent by Talend.
Your repository is now ready for use.
Install Tomcat with the following command:
- To install the package with its default configuration, use the following command:
```
sudo -E yum install talend-tomcat
```
  This command does not require any additional parameter. It installs the package and its dependencies with their default configuration in the default /opt/talend directory.
- The talend-tomcat package is relocatable, meaning that you can install it in any other directory, as follows:
```
sudo -E rpm -i --prefix=<InstallPath> https://<user>:<password>@www.opensourceetl.net/rpms/talend/7.3.1/base/x86_64/talend-tomcat-9.0.30-1.x86_64.rpm
```
  In this case, all other applications depending on Tomcat and installed with RPM must be installed in that same folder, or with correct Tomcat parameters set for the application.
