Note: The second step for MAC is to download the zip package in the red box. Windows selects the corresponding zip package in the Core directory according to its system bit

2.3 Download complete!

3. Tomcat installation

Unzip the downloaded package -> place the Tomcat folder in a directory easy to find (suggest Library) -> Change the executable permissions -> Done!

3.1 Decompress the downloaded Tomcat package and store it in the Library directory

Note: If you can’t find the Library directory, type CD /Library/ && open on the command line. You can open this directory.

3.2 Modifying Executable Rights

Open the terminal and enter sudo chmod 755 Library/apache-tomcat-8.5.59/bin/*.sh

Note :(apache-tomcat-8.5.59 -> is the name of the tomcat folder after downloading, which can be modified according to the actual situation)

Note: Sudo is usually the super administrator of the system. 755 indicates that the user has the permission to read, write, and execute the file. However, other users in the same group have the permission to execute and read the file but not to write the file.
