Virgo Server for Apache Tomcat is distributed as a ZIP file. This can be downloaded from
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.eclipse.org/virgo/download/" target="_top">here</a>.
</p></div><div class="section" title="Installing"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="installation-zip-installing"></a>Installing</h3></div></div></div><div class="section" title="Linux"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="installation-zip-installing-linux"></a>Linux</h4></div></div></div><p>
To install Virgo Server for Apache Tomcat on Linux, unzip the distribution package to the desired installation directory.
For example, to install into <code class="literal">/opt</code>:
</p><pre class="screen">prompt$ unzip virgo-web-server-3.5.0.zip -d /opt</pre><p>
This creates a directory called <code class="literal">virgo-web-server-3.5.0</code> under <code class="literal">/opt</code>.
</p><p>
Virgo Server for Apache Tomcat requires write access to the installation directory, in this case <code class="literal">/opt/virgo-web-server-3.5.0</code>.
Typically this means it must be run as the user that installed it, or the installation directory&rsquo;s ownership must be changed.

To install the Virgo Server for Apache Tomcat on Windows, unzip the distribution package to the desired installation directory.
You should use a zip application such as 7zip, not the built-in folder decompression. Note that both Windows and
Java have some issues with long file names and file paths, so we recommend installing to the root directory of
your chosen drive.
