Script to install Java and Tomcat from tar files

foottuns · 10-29-2010, 09:33 PM

hello there,

I am trying to write a script where I can install Java and Tomcat from tar file, I don't need to use any rmp files, that's why I am asking if there's a way how to install them. I am thinking at perl to do that or shell, but I prefer if you could give me an advice.

thank you.

I'm not sure why perl would be required but feel free, its pretty straight forward with a shell script. Java (jdk) can just be extracted wherever you want and referenced accordingly and Tomcat will probably have a Makefile that you can call if it's a source tarball.
