You should use

 

sudo addgroup --system tomcat8.5 --quiet --force-badname

--force-badname instead of 

—force-badname

Hi, I don't think TWX have installation videos, and Community is a "Low Touch" support method, if you need someone to closely follow your installation process, It's highly recommended that you create a case for it.

    Hi,

    Thank you for the concern. It is so frusting on windows.

    I have decided to use Ubuntu and still going well but while running this command "

    sudo addgroup --system tomcat8.5 --quiet —force-badname

    "

    to add group to the folder tomcat8.5, it keep saying not does not exist. how do I rectify this?

     

    I am not sure I understand what you meant by creating a case.

    Did you successfully extracted the tar file?  Was the file in the correct path?  These are generally 2 steps before this addgroup command,  You just started installation so the reason must be quite simple.

     

    By "Creating Case" I mean if you're a TWX client (higher than Silver) or PTC insider, you could use your account to create a technical support case in the esupport website, and a TWX engineer will pick it and help through the problem you have.
