In the tutorial https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-apache-tomcat-8-on-centos-7 In the part that says: Install Systemd Unit File : when talk: ‘sudo vi /etc/systemd/system/tomcat.service’ It is impossible to create such a file because there is no systemd folder on any side, instead on ubuntu if it can be done

And in Centos ? where is the systemd folder ?
On Ubuntu 16.04 and 16.10, you should be able to drop it in to /lib/systemd/system/
i.e.
sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/tomcat.service
Then run:
sudo systemctl enable tomcat.service
and
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
Locations will vary from one OS distro to another, especially in the case of CentOS vs Ubuntu. The only two distros that normally have the same paths (in most cases) are Ubuntu and Debian since Ubuntu is a fork of Debian and RedHat based distros.
@GestionX Let’s ask the tutorial editor. @manicas Hi Mitchell, is SystemD part of CentOS or should that be corrected?
