Installing Solr

Available Solr Packages

Solr is available from the Solr website. Download the latest release https://solr.apache.org/downloads.html.

There are two separate packages:

  • solr-8.11.2.tgz the binary package, for all operating systems.
  • solr-8.11.2-src.tgz the package Solr source code. This is useful if you want to develop on Solr without using the official Git repository.

Preparing for Installation

You can also download any version of Solr. I prefer the version 8x.

Package Installation

To keep things simple for now, extract the Solr distribution archive then go into the extracted directory, don’t delete the archive file yet.

Final Command

sudo bash ./bin/install_solr_service.sh ../solr-8.11.2.tgz

After the command executes successfully you’ll be able to access solr admin UI from localhost:8983
