If it's already packaged then pretty much all you need to do is
extract it to the tomcat home directory. Look in the
/etc/tomcat5/tomcat5.conf file for the base directory. Inside look for
the webapps directory. Extract your distribution folder to that
directory.

To access, just point your browser to the
server:8080/webapps/name_of_application_dir/
