- Place the folder in a directory suitable for your system
e.g. C:\Program Files\Whatever
- If the classpath is correctly set, at the command prompt, navigate to the \bin folder of your apache-tomcat- (If not there's a previous post that will tell you how to do that).

- check with your browser if the server is correctly running, by typing in the address bar, http://localhost:8080
