The problem is that this tool has a dependency on Java 8, however, my installed JDK is 7, and I have to keep it for all existing Java projects.

It seems that I need to have something like NVM (Node Version Manager) this time for JDKs.

But before doing that, lets check if we already have JDK 7 installed by Homebrew Cask.

Jdk 8 Download JDK 8

Download JDK 8 from Oracle WebSite jdk-8u65-macosx-x64.dmg for Mac Double click on jdk-8u65-macosx-x64.dmg and follow the screen instructions JDK package will have been installed in LibraryJavaJavaVirtualMachines.

In my computer, I have both 1.6 and 1.8 JDK package ls -l LibraryJavaJavaVirtualMachines.

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.65-b01, mixed mode).

Jdk 8 Zip The File

Download the binary Core Distribution from the original website (apache-tomcat-7.0.65.tar.gz): Apache Tomcat 7 Unzip the file downloaded Create a Tomcat folder in Library.

There we can leave several Tomcat versions to test sudo mkdir -p LibraryTomcat sudo mv Downloadsapache-tomcat-7.
