# Installation

## How do I deploy Pebble?

Installation on most JSP 2.0/Servlet 2.4 containers should be as simple as dropping the `pebble.war` file into a specific directory in order to deploy it. Here are the steps required to deploy Pebble into Tomcat 5.5.x.

1. Take the `pebble.war` file from the distribution and deploy it, by copying it to `$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps`.
2. Restart Tomcat and point your browser to `http://localhost:8080/pebble/`.
3. Start blogging by logging in with a username of `username` and a password of `password`.

What follows are some instructions for specific web/application servers.

### Tomcat 5.5.x

To enable e-mail integration so that Pebble can send e-mails whenever people leave comments, copy the `activation.jar` and `mail.jar` files from the `lib` directory of the Pebble distribution into `$TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib/`.
