| ### Run with Tomcat |
| Necessary steps to get your project run with [Tomcat](https://tomcat.apache.org/index.html) (tested with version `7.0.32`). |
| |
| #### Required steps |
| * Download Tomcat 7.0.x from [Tomcat Downloads](https://tomcat.apache.org/download-70.cgi) |
| * Install Tomcat as described in [Tomcat Documentation](https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/setup.html) |
| * Start Tomcat e.g. via `$TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup.sh` (Linux) or `$TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup.bat` (Windows) |
| * Build of OData Application |
| * Build your `WAR` file of your own project |
| * If you don't have a project the follow our sample project setup [here](/doc/odata2/sample-setup.html) |
| * Deployment of the OData Application via simple copy of created `WAR` from the web project `./target` folder (for the sample it is `$ODATA_PROJECT_HOME/cars-web/target/olingo.odata2.sample.cars.web.war`) into `$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps` |
| * After successful deployment for the sample project just open following link: http://localhost:8080/olingo.odata2.sample.cars.web to see the project entry site. |
