I wanted to play a little with my old RaspberryPi (2 Model B) and install Tomcat 8 on it. I went over several tedious blogs showing a pretty long process from checking Java version through creating tomcat user and downloading Tomcat from all sort of strange web sites.
If you are not picky on a specific Tomcat 8 version, then it is actually quite a simple task:
First make sure using the command line that your RaspberryPi is running at least Java 8:
java -version
The install Tomcat 8 using apt:
sudo apt-get install tomcat8
It will make sure to create tomcat8 user for you.
In order to make sure if Tomcat 8 is running properly, simply open your browser (probably Chromium) and type:
localhost:8080
