Downloading and Starting IG in Tomcat

The commands in this guide assume that you install Tomcat to /path/to/tomcat, and after installation, you have a directory /path/to/tomcat/webapps in which you install IG. If you use another directory structure, substitute the commands.

Download and Start IG in Tomcat

Download a supported version of Tomcat server from its download page, and install it to /path/to/tomcat.
Remove the ROOT directory in Tomcat:
```
$ rm -rf /path/to/tomcat/webapps/ROOT
```
Download IG-7.0.2.war from the ForgeRock BackStage download site.
Copy the IG-7.0.2.war to the Tomcat webapps directory, as ROOT.war:
```
$ cp IG-7.0.2.war /path/to/tomcat/webapps/ROOT.war
```
Tomcat automatically deploys IG in the root context on startup.
Start Tomcat:
```
$ /path/to/tomcat/bin/startup.sh
```
If necessary, make the startup scripts executable.
Check that IG is running in one of the following ways:
- Ping IG at http://openig.example.com:8080/openig/ping, and make sure an HTTP 200 is returned.
- Access the IG welcome page at http://openig.example.com:8080.
- When IG is running in development mode, display the product version and build information at http://openig.example.com:8080/openig/api/info.
