Add tomcat user & add to sudoer list

sudo adduser tomcat
sudo passwd tomcat
Changing password for user tomcat.
New password:
Retype new password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
sudo gpasswd -a tomcat wheel
Adding user tomcat to group wheel

Create tomcat group & adduser

sudo groupadd tomcat

Then create a new tomcat user. We'll make this user a member of the tomcat group, with a home directory of /opt/tomcat (where we will install Tomcat), and with a shell of /bin/false (so nobody can log into the account):

sudo useradd -M -s /bin/nologin -g tomcat -d /opt/tomcat tomcat

Now that our tomcat user is set up, let's download and install Tomcat.
