Installing Tomcat 7.0.22 on Mac OS X Lion

I have Mac OS X 10.7. I am following http://wolfpaulus.com/journal/mac/tomcat7 to install Tomcat. Following are the commands on my terminal, but nothing happens after the last line as its given in the guide. Why so?

Last login: Fri Oct 14 00:22:53 on ttys000
➜  ~ git:(master) ✗ sudo mkdir /usr/local
Password:
mkdir: /usr/local: File exists
➜  ~ git:(master) ✗ sudo mv ~/Downloads/apache-tomcat-7.0.22 /usr/local
mv: rename /Users/Vinisa/Downloads/apache-tomcat-7.0.22 to /usr/local/apache-tomcat-7.0.22: Directory not empty
➜  ~ git:(master) ✗ sudo ln -s /usr/local/apache-tomcat-7.0.22 /Library/Tomcat
ln: /Library/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.22: File exists
➜  ~ git:(master) ✗ sudo chown -R Vinisa /Library/Tomcat
➜  ~ git:(master) ✗ sudo chmod +x /Library/Tomcat/bin/*.sh
➜  ~ git:(master) ✗

Thanks!

Probably it's a wrong path. The correct path might be as follows,

sudo chmod +x /Library/Tomcat/bin/apache-tomcat-7.0.22/*.sh

I am telling you I roamed all over the web & it would be a piece of cake after this. Just follow one by one

1)Type tomcat in google
2) Click on the website tomcat.apache.org
3) go to downloads -> tomcat 7 then scroll down to core
4) click on tar.gz (2nd option there)
5) open terminal and change directory to the folder where the apache-tomcat-7.0.40 is present (use cd foldername)
6) type 

sudo chmod +x *.sh

(it is used to give exectuable privelages to the files)
7) type 

sh startup.sh

it will work and just display some lines like :

Using CATALINA_BASE: /Users/Sriharshaa/Downloads/apache-tomcat-7.0.40 Using CATALINA_HOME: /Users/Sriharshaa/Downloads/apache-tomcat-7.0.40 Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /Users/Sriharshaa/Downloads/apache-tomcat-7.0.40/temp Using JRE_HOME: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_13.jdk/Contents/Home Using CLASSPATH: /Users/Sriharshaa/Downloads/apache-tomcat-7.0.40/bin/bootstrap.jar:/Users/Sriharshaa/Downloads/apache-tomcat-7.0.40/bin/tomcat-juli.jar

8) go to browser type

http://localhost:8080/

and if you get tomcat website then , tomcat is installed on your computer successfully !

You have to start the server:

/Library/Tomcat/bin/startup.sh

And point the browser to

http://localhost:8080

To see if it is working.
