インストール

• Java version 8 以降をインストール
• Tomcat 8.0 以降をインストール (http://tomcat.apache.org/)
• Tomcat でなくても、Servlet3.1 以降に対応しているサーバーであれば動作すると思います
• Tomcat のインストールのパスには空白が入らないようにしてください
• knowledge.war をダウンロード(https://github.com/support-project/knowledge/releases)
• Tomcatのwebappsディレクトリに、knowledge.warを置く(warが配備され使えるようになります)

注意点

• うまく動かなかった場合は、catalina.outのログを見ること
• 上記はtomcatのディレクトリにあります。
• 例えば、macの場合

  $ catalina system

  stop -force       Stop Catalina, wait up to 5 seconds and then use kill -KILL if still running
  stop n -force     Stop Catalina, wait up to n seconds and then use kill -KILL if still running
  configtest        Run a basic syntax check on server.xml - check exit code for result
  version           What version of tomcat are you running?
  Note: Waiting for the process to end and use of the -force option require that $CATALINA_PID is defined
  

  こんな感じで調べることが可能。

 ls /usr/local/Cellar/tomcat/8.5.9/libexec/logs
catalina.2016-12-28.log             catalina.2017-01-04.log             host-manager.2017-01-01.log         localhost.2017-01-01.log            localhost_access_log.2016-12-29.txt manager.2016-12-28.log

catalina.outとlocalhost-xxxx-xx-xx.logを見ると大体エラーは書いてある
