AWS - Installing Tomcat 8 on EC2

I’m trying to install Tomcat8 on EC2 (I installed Java8 first). However, when I try to list all available tomcats using: 

yum list available | grep tomcat

tomcat versions do not show up and this is what I get:

enter image description here

Moreover, when I installed the tomcat in the snapshot above using this command:

yum install tomcat tomcat-webapps tomcat-admin-webapps tomcat-docs-webapp

then I tried to start the server using:

service tomcat start

I ended up with:

Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start tomcat.service

and the server doesn't work.

Can you help please?

Now following to install :

As a workaround, I downloaded Tomcat9 on my laptop, copied it to the EC2 instance using linux "scp" command, then installed it there.
