It's supplied as part of the distribution: 

# tar -tzf prometheus-2.20.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz

prometheus-2.20.1.linux-amd64/

prometheus-2.20.1.linux-amd64/LICENSE

Whether it's "installed" or not depends on who or what is doing the installing.

2. If Prometheus is installed in a docker container, how to use promtool to validate Prometheus.yml file

Use "docker exec" to run promtool. (Or "kubectl exec" if it's running in kubernetes).

 

3. Is amtool automatically installed with alertmanager?

Same as before, it's included in the distribution tarball.

 

4. If alertmanager is installed in a docker container, how to use amtool to validate alertmanager.yml file

Same as before, "docker exec".
