webMathematica User Guide 21Note that the default OS X tar command does not work to unpack the Tomcat archive asshown below. You would need to use the GNU tar utility (gnutar), which normally resides in/usr/bin/, to use the options shown. You could also use Stuffit Expander (Version 7.0.1 andlater), which uncompresses *.tar.gz archives.Sample shell instructions for these steps are shown below (note that tar xvfz archive will giveyou more information on what files are being extracted). These instructions assume that youare using the Terminal application found in Applications-> Utilities-> Terminal.[server1]$ cd /Library[server1]$ sudo /usr/bin/gnutar xfz jakarta-tomcat-5.5.27.tar.gz[server1]$ sudo mv jakarta-tomcat-5.5.27 tomcatInstalling and Configuring MathematicaInstall the version of Mathematica appropriate for the platform you wish to use for your webserver. You should choose a single-machine installation. When you have finished, you should beable to run Mathematica interactively to validate your installation. If Mathematica cannot run,then webMathematica cannot run.If you already have an installation of Mathematica on your server, you do not need to installMathematica again, but can proceed with the remaining installation steps. With an existinginstallation of Mathematica, you may place your webMathematica license information into adifferent location, as described in the following section. Placing the license information in adifferent location will ensure that an interactive usage of Mathematica on your server does notinterfere with the operation of your webMathematica site. One possible alternative directory isthe webMathematica/WEB-INF/conf directory as demonstrated in the section on installingwebMathematica into Tomcat. Note that if you install the license in a special file, you will haveto set the -pwfile option when you run Mathematica outside of webMathematica.Installing the webMathematica Web ApplicationThis section describes how to install webMathematica components into your servlet container.For most servlet containers, this involves deploying the webMathematica web application foundin archived form on the webMathematica Tools CD-ROM or from your download.
