If your server is an Apache Tomcat, the easiest way is just to copy demeter-server/target/demeter-server-<version>.war web application into the <TOMCAT_HOME>/webapps deployment directory and let the server unpack and install the application. Once its done, the application would be available at http://<hostname>:<port>/demeter-server-<version> URL.
This file is located under <TOMCAT_HOME>/webapps/<demeter home>/WEB-INF/classes/config folder. Please, update the following:
