- Tomcat installer from https://tomcat.apache.org/download-90.cgi installed in `C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 9.0`
- [`pvws`](https://github.com/ornl-epics/pvws) - we are using the latest nightly .war as of 01/11/24 - to update download this and place in the tomcat `dir\webapps` folder and restart the service
- jdk 21 from https://adoptium.net/en-GB/ installed in `C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jdk-21.0.5.11-hotspot`
- You may need to update the max message size to `131072` as per "increasing maximum message size" of https://github.com/ornl-epics/pvws?tab=readme-ov-file#running-under-tomcat - this should be done in `C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 9.0\webapps\pvws\WEB-INF\web.xml` as per the instruction in the installation section below.

### Problem solving during updating
- Check that the file permissions on the tomcat directory are set so that `LOCAL SERIVCE` account has full access
