Is apt-get the generally recommended way to install things on Ubuntu? I tried to install manually, and now having some configuration issues with it.
I’d un-install it and use the apt get command to install it, but do I best install it by deleting the tomcat directories? There were probably some system variables set in the process. How do I make sure they don’t mess up the future installation?
Also, how does the apt-get command know which version of Tomcat to pull? And how do I know which version to specify in a way that apt-get can understand? 🙂
Thanks!
Answer
This is off-topic, but aptitude is the best way to install anything that can be installed via apt-get.
Uninstalling it when you didn’t install it through a package manager is purported to be intractable.
