Hi @adesolaridwan2003,
Seems like file is not downloaded correctly.

#3

I checked the tomcat version and this file is no longer available in the given link.
Please try the latest version.

Index of /tomcat/tomcat-8/v8.5.78/bin (apache.org)

Install the correct archive file and then try to extract it. It should work.

You will see all the available latest versions in the link below: -

Index of /tomcat (apache.org)

Hi @adesolaridwan2003 your missing a z in your tar parameter. Try with:

tar zxvf apache...

Maybe check the downloaded file with the “file” command to validate its a gzipped file:

file apache-tomcat-8.5.69.tar.gz

This should tell you this is a “gzip compressed file”. I noticed recently that when un-tarring a gzipped file without specifying the “-z”, the command uncompresses and unarchives the file correclty.

Cheers,

Use
tar -xvzf to extract tar.gz files.
