Installing Lucene/Solr on CentOS 6

This time we are going to install Solr, the super text search platform on CentOS. The installation process requires a couple extra libraries in order to work: Apache Commons Logging and SLF4J. Installing Java yum install java java -version You must have at least version 1.6 in order to run Solr. If you got Java 1.5, I recommend you to follow this tutorial to get version 1.6. Installing Tomcat yum -y install tomcat6 tomcat6-webapps tomcat6-admin-webapps chkconfig tomcat6 on service tomcat6 start Use a web browser to check it is working correctly.
