title: Where is webapps in tomcat 7?
body: <p>I am a erlang chicago boss developer, I have been asked to install a tomcat and deploy 2 war files to start the website. </p>
  
  <p>I installed it using <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/13.10/serverguide/tomcat.html" rel="nofollow">guide</a> :</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo apt-get install tomcat7 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now he has sent me some files which include menu.war and dashboard.war</p>
  
  <p>Here it is referred as <code>$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps</code> in  <a href="http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=123229" rel="nofollow">How do I deploy a WAR file in Tomcat?</a>'</p>
  
  <p>Can someone tell me where is my <code>$TOMCAT_HOME</code> directory?</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ echo $TOMCAT_HOME
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Command is not displaying anything!</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
