How to Start a Development Apache Solr

by in Profesional Career, Solr, SolrNet

I am preparing for a presentation this month on Solr and SolrNet for the Atlanta .NET User Group.  Solr 5 is already out but I will be running my demos using Solr 4.10. Now that I am starting the preparation process, it really feels so good to know that starting a local Solr is SO EASY. Check out the steps which couldn’t be easier:

– Assuming you already downloaded Solr (here if you haven’t: http://lucene.apache.org/solr/downloads.html)

– Just extract into a folder. Mine is called AtlantaSolr

– Make sure you have Java running. If unsure just type java -version

– Now navigate to your Solr folder, in my case C:\Dropbox\Public Speaking\AtlantaSolrSolrNet

– Type the magic words java -jar start.jar and let it load.

– Voila! Navigate to localhost:8983/solr

    Hi Xavier,

    I would very much appreciate if you could share the ppt slides for the Pluralsight – “Getting Started with Enterprise Search Using Apache Solr” to use to present Solr to my team.

    Thanks and regards,
