You just download and install the new version along side your existing version, migrate your config from the old to new version (use a diff tool or [1]) and deploy your apps to the new instance. More info on upgrades can be found here [2]. While it's a bit more complicated to initially setup, you can streamline the upgrade process further by using separate CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE environment variables. For more info on how to do this, see the "Advanced Configuration - Multiple Tomcat Instances" in RUNNING.txt.

You should look at RUNNING.txt [3]. It's not a pretty HTML page, but it says exactly what you need to know about installing. The only part missing from RUNNING.txt would be instructions for installing as init.d script to start on boot. This is documented here [4]. [3] - https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/RUNNING.txt [4] - https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/setup.html#Unix_daemon Finally, if you have any specific questions about installing or upgrading, or encounter any problems while trying, just ask on the list. For best results, include as much detail about your question / problem as possible. Include OS, full Tomcat version, logs, full error message or anything else relevant to the problem.
