Download Apache Tomcat 9 Mac

  1. Tomcat Download 9.0
  2. Download Apache Tomcat 9 Mac Installer
  1. Download a binary distribution of the core module: apache-tomcat-8.5.3.tar.gz from here. I picked the tar.gz in Binary Distributions / Core section.

Click on the link above to download Apache Directory Studio for macOS. The download appeares in the Downloads folder in Finder. Double-click on the disk image to open it. Drag-and-drop the Apache Directory Studio application on the Applications folder to install it. Adding to PATH: Add the unpacked distribution’s bin directory to your user PATH environment variable by opening up the system properties (WinKey + Pause), selecting the “Advanced” tab, and the “Environment Variables” button, then adding or selecting the PATH variable in the user variables with the value C: Program Files apache-maven-3.6.3 bin.
