The JDK installer package come in an dmg and installs easily on the Mac; and after opening the Terminal app again,
java -version
Now shows something like this:
java version '1.8.0_66'
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_66-b17)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.66-b17, mixed mode)
Whatever you do, when opening Terminal and running java -version, you should see something like this, with a version of at least 1.7.x I.e. Tomcat 9.x requires Java 7 or later.

JAVA_HOME is an important environment variable, not just for Tomcat, and it’s important to get it right.
To set the JAVA_HOME variable, open a new Terminal window and use the following command to open the system profile for editing. (You can substitute your favorite text editor. We like Vim.):
vi ~/.profile
Once you’ve opened the profile, add the following lines to set the JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME variables:
export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/Home
export CATALINA_HOME=/Path/To/Tomcat/Home
