If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/tomcat5
%  sudo port install tomcat5  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching tomcat5
--->  Verifying checksum for tomcat5
--->  Extracting tomcat5
--->  Configuring tomcat5
--->  Building tomcat5 with target all

--->  Staging tomcat5 into destroot

--->  Installing tomcat5

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using tomcat5 with these commands:

%  man tomcat5
%  apropos tomcat5
%  which tomcat5
%  locate tomcat5
