Requirements

1. Git
2. Java 1.7 (JDK)
3. Ant 1.8.x or higher
4. Ant ivy (actually, optional as build script can install it)

There are two options of running heliosearch:

1. Build and run the example
2. Build war file from sources and deploy it to web application server

Common steps

1. Checkout source code from github: git clone [email protected]:Heliosearch/heliosearch.git
2. Go into heliosearch solr directory: cd heliosearch/solr
3. Most build commands require ivy to be installed:

• If you don't have ivy installed, scripts will fail with a meaningful error.
• If you want script to install ivy use the following command: ant ivy-bootstrap
• Otherwise install it manually and continue

1. As heliosearch require some native libraries:
2. Execute: ant compile
3. Go into native directory: cd native
4. Execute make file: ./make.sh (Use cygwin under windows)
5. It will copy native libraries to native/build and example/native directories.
6. Now go back to heliosearch/solr directory and proceed with concrete task

How-To build and run example

Note: after common steps you should be in the heliosearch/solr directory.

1. Just run: ant run-example
2. If everything is successful please try to visit: http://localhost:8983/solr/admin to test that example works. Be sure that you have the following message during start:

!!!!!! Heliosearch native libraries loaded. !!!!!!

How-To build war file

1. Build .war file: ant dist
2. If everything was successful war file should appear in the heliosearch/solr/dist directory.

• The name of the file is something like solr-4.11.0-SNAPSHOT.war

1. It is now possible to deploy the war file to your web application server(Tomcat, JBOSS AS, etc).
