Download Apache Solr: http://lucene.apache.org/solr/

Extract the file "solr-9.8.1.zip" in the folder you want to install Solr: /opt/solr-9.8.1
$ unzip solr-9.8.1.zip -d /opt/
Create a symbolic link of the Solr installation folder:
$ ln -s /opt/solr-9.8.1/ /opt/solr
Change the folders permissions (if needed):
$ chmod -R 755 /opt/solr-9.8.1/ $ sudo chown -R mtitek:mtitek /opt/solr-9.8.1/ $ sudo chown -R mtitek:mtitek /opt/solr

${SOLR_HOME} (or solr.solr.home) represents the path of the Solr home directory: /opt/solr/server/solr

${SOLR_ROOT} represents the path of the Solr installation folder: /opt/solr/

Configuration files:
► "${SOLR_HOME}/solr.xml"
► "${SOLR_HOME}/zoo.cfg"

Solr home directory ${SOLR_HOME} must contain a solr.xml file and a zoo.cfg file, otherwise Solr will fail to start.

By default, the data directory of the embedded ZooKeeper can be found in "${SOLR_HOME}/zoo_data".

You can use the following command to start Solr (the Solr node won't be able to form/join a Solr Cluster):
$ /opt/solr/bin/solr start -c
You can start Solr and set adding additional JVM parameters (start Solr running in SolrCloud mode with 1g max heap size and remote Java debug options enabled):
$ /opt/solr/bin/solr start -c -m 1g -a "-Xmx1024m -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=1044"
Access the Solr Admin UI: http://localhost:8983/solr

Find and stop Solr server for which the HTTP listener is bound to the specified port:
$ /opt/solr/bin/solr stop -p 8983
