In my Debian 11, I entered this command :
wget https://downloads.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-10/v10.0.18/bin/apache-tomcat-10.0.18.tar.gz

After that I get this message

--2022-11-23 21:24:54-- https://downloads.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-10/v10.0.18/bin/apache-tomcat-10.0.18.tar.gz

Does anyone know the why of this error?

I am following the instruction of this page :

Because the file isn't there. Maybe there's a newer version since those
instructions were written?

Is there any reason not to use the Debian package? Doing so would
likely bypass all the fiddly setup in the rest of those instructions.

Bu if you insist, you could go to the tomcat home page page,
https://tomcat.apache.org/, and go from there.

Does anybody read signatures any more?

Use your browser. Enter this URL into the URL bar (hopefully, your
browser still has one of those).

You'll get the "404 Not Found" response.

Cut some part from the right of the URL (I just cut everything
including and to the right of "/tomcat-10/...", leaving:

https://downloads.apache.org/tomcat

This is a hit and gives an index. From there, you see choices
(I currently see:

v10.0.27/
v10.1.1/
v10.1.2/

Click your way through to your desired version.

The Internet moves. Links go stale. If you're a nice person, write
the authors of the above blog that they should fix their link.

https://downloads.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-10/ has two folders:
v10.0.27/ and v10.1.2/. There is no v10.0.18/ folder.

You need to fix the URL you are using.

Yes, you are right. Thanks! Copy and Past, humm, I'll be more careful
next time.
