  1. Download the Jamf Pro Server Tools CLI. For instructions, see the The Jamf Pro Server Tools Command-Line Interface article.
    Note:

    On Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the sudo command may not use the expected home directory. You may need to use the su command or the sudo su command to reach the root user account to set configuration options for jamf-pro. If you use the su command, you must provide the root user password. If you use the sudo su command, you can access the root user account by providing the password of the current account. Note that the current account must be configured in the sudoers file to use sudo su. After executing any jamf-pro config command to set configuration values, it is highly recommended that you execute the jamf-pro config list command to ensure the values you intended were saved.

  2. Configure the Tomcat directory by executing a command similar to the following:
    jamf-pro config set --tomcat-dir /opt/tomcat
  3. Configure the Tomcat service by executing a command similar to the following:
    jamf-pro config set --tomcat-service tomcat.service

Jamf highly recommends that you regularly create backups as you work toward a fully configured and operational Jamf Pro. For instructions, see Backing Up the Database .
