We created the Bitnami Project to help spread the adoption of freely available, high quality Open Source web applications. Bitnami aims to make it easier than ever to discover, download and install Open Source software such as document and content management systems, wikis and blogging software.

The Bitnami Tomcat Stack is an easy to install software platform that greatly simplifies the deployment of Open Source web stacks. It includes ready-to-run versions of Apache, Apache Tomcat, MySQL and Java^TM. Bitnami Tomcat Stack is distributed for free under the Apache 2.0 license.

To get started with Bitnami Tomcat Stack we suggest the following:

1.- Check our documentation. The stack is self-contained and independent on your system, you can find all components in your installation directory: C:\Bitnami\tomcatstack-7.0.90-0

2.- Start the servers. Open the graphical "Manager" tool in your installation directory to start & stop the installed servers. You can also use "ctlscript.sh" from the command line prompt.

3.- Use the console. Go to your installation directory and open the "use_tomcatstack" console.

4.- Access Tomcat. You can also learn how to deploy your own project.
