Is it possible to install Apache Tomcat 8 on Ubuntu 20.04?

  • 772

It seems that Ubuntu no longer ships Apache Tomcat 8 in the repos as of 20.04, there is only Apache Tomcat 9. I have a school assignment which requries we use Apache Tomcat 8. Is there a way to install Apache Tomcat 8 on Ubuntu 20.04, or will I have to get a VM with Ubuntu 18.04?

tomcat 20.04 tomcat8

  1. You can always download and extract the tomcat8 package yourself and use a systemd script like this: https://gist.github.com/zengxs/a697d786b244d7b857d3d006213306a1 (or start the tomcat from within the bin folder)

    Why is your school assignment bound to a fix version of Tomcat btw?
