Preferably through apt-get. I know there's this package for 16.04, but I don't know how to add it to apt-get. Would it work?

I have java8 installed. Not sure what additional information I can provide.

I also found this: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/artful/+source/tomcat7 which is for 17.10

Everything in the Ubuntu repositories is already "in" apt-get.

tomcat7 is in the Universe repository (exception: 14.04 it's in Main).

Here are the steps:

  1. Enable the Universe repository if needed.

  2. Update your system's database of available software packages using the command

    sudo apt-get update

  3. Install the software and all required dependencies using

    sudo apt-get install tomcat7

    When I type `sudo apt-get install tomcat` and press tab, it goes straight to `tomcat8` and there is no sight of the tomcat7 packages. I figured I need to add some kind of repository to apt. – m_highlanderish Mar 25 '18 at 19:25
  • @m_highlanderish Ah, I understand. The answer is now revised to help you enable Ubuntu's repository, where t7 lives. – user535733 Mar 26 '18 at 03:39
