Welcome to the Apache Solr project! ----------------------------------- Solr is the popular, blazing fast open source enterprise search platform from the Apache Lucene project. For a complete description of the Solr project, team composition, source code repositories, and other details, please see the Solr web site at http://lucene.apache.org/solr Getting Started --------------- See the "example" directory for an example Solr setup. A tutorial using the example setup can be found at http://lucene.apache.org/solr/tutorial.html or in in "docs/tutorial.html" in a binary distribution. Files included in an Apache Solr binary distribution ---------------------------------------------------- example/ A self-contained example Solr instance, complete with a sample configuration, documents to index, and the Jetty Servlet container. Please see example/README.txt for information about running this example. dist/apache-solr-XX.war The Apache Solr Application. Deploy this WAR file to any servlet container to run Apache Solr. dist/apache-solr-XX.jar The Apache Solr Libraries. This JAR file is needed to compile Apache Solr Plugins (see http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrPlugins for more information). docs/index.html The contents of the Apache Solr website. docs/api/index.html The Apache Solr Javadoc API documentation. Instructions for Building Apache Solr from Source ------------------------------------------------- 1. Download the J2SE 5.0 JDK (Java Development Kit) or later from http://java.sun.com. You will need the JDK installed, and the %JAVA_HOME%\bin directory included on your command path. To test this, issue a "java -version" command from your shell and verify that the Java version is 5.0 or later. 2. Download the Apache Ant binary distribution (1.7.x, not 1.6.x, not 1.8.x) from http://ant.apache.org. You will need Ant installed and the %ANT_HOME%\bin directory included on your command path. To test this, issue a "ant -version" command from your shell and verify that Ant is available. 3. Download the Apache Solr distribution, linked from the above web site. Expand the distribution to a folder of your choice, e.g. c:\solr. Alternately, you can obtain a copy of the latest Apache Solr source code directly from the Subversion repository: http://lucene.apache.org/solr/version_control.html 4. Navigate to the "solr" folder and issue an "ant" command to see the available options for building, testing, and packaging Solr. NOTE: To see Solr in action, you may want to use the "ant example" command to build and package Solr into the example/webapps directory. See also example/README.txt. Export control ------------------------------------------------- This distribution includes cryptographic software. The country in which you currently reside may have restrictions on the import, possession, use, and/or re-export to another country, of encryption software. BEFORE using any encryption software, please check your country's laws, regulations and policies concerning the import, possession, or use, and re-export of encryption software, to see if this is permitted. See for more information. The U.S. Government Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), has classified this software as Export Commodity Control Number (ECCN) 5D002.C.1, which includes information security software using or performing cryptographic functions with asymmetric algorithms. The form and manner of this Apache Software Foundation distribution makes it eligible for export under the License Exception ENC Technology Software Unrestricted (TSU) exception (see the BIS Export Administration Regulations, Section 740.13) for both object code and source code. The following provides more details on the included cryptographic software: Apache Solr uses the Apache Tika which uses the Bouncy Castle generic encryption libraries for extracting text content and metadata from encrypted PDF files. See http://www.bouncycastle.org/ for more details on Bouncy Castle.
