<section name="Introduction">
<p>
This document introduces several ways to set up Tomcat for running
on different platforms. Please note that some advanced setup issues
are not covered here: the full distribution (ZIP file or tarball)
includes a file called
RUNNING.txt which discusses these issues. We encourage you to refer
to it if the information below does not answer some of your questions.

<section name="Windows">
<p>
Installing Tomcat on Windows can be done easily using the Windows
installer. Its interface and functionality is similar to other wizard
based installers, with only a few items of interest.
</p>
<p>
<ul>
<li>Installation as a service: Tomcat will be
installed as a Windows
NT/2k/XP service no matter what setting is selected. Using the
checkbox on the component page sets the service as "auto"
startup, so that Tomcat is automatically started when Windows
starts. For optimal security, the service should be run as a
separate user, with reduced permissions (see the Windows Services
administration tool and its documentation).</li>
<li>Java location: The installer will use the registry
or the JAVA_HOME environment variable to determine the base path
of a J2SE 5 JRE.
</li>
<li>Tray icon: When Tomcat is run as a service, there
will not be any tray icon present when Tomcat is running. Note that
when choosing to run Tomcat at the end of installation, the tray
icon will be used even if Tomcat was installed as a service.</li>
<li>Refer to the
<a href="windows-service-howto.html">Windows Service HOW-TO
for information on how to manage Tomcat as Windows NT service.
</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>The installer will create shortcuts allowing starting and configuring
Tomcat. It is important to note that the Tomcat administration web
application can only be used when Tomcat is running.</p>
</section>
<section name="Unix daemon">
<p>Tomcat can be run as a daemon using the jsvc tool from the
commons-daemon project. Source tarballs for jsvc are included with the
Tomcat binaries, and need to be compiled. Building jsvc requires
a C ANSI compiler (such as GCC), GNU Autoconf, and a JDK.</p>
