Generally speaking: cmd starts the command line window -> go to the bin directory of tomcat through the cd command -> run startup.bat. as the picture shows:
When tomcat starts, it will read the information of the environment variables, and it needs the information of CATALINA_HOME and JAVA_HOME. CATALINA_HOME is the home directory of tomcat, JAVA_HOME is the home directory of java installation, and the home directory of jdk. First, configure JAVA_HOME at the environment variable, note that the variable value is the home directory of jdk, not the bin directory, and do not add a semicolon , as shown in the figure:
