Configuration and Installation instructions for VIVO's external Solr

Requirements

This configuration has been tested with VIVO 1.11.0 and Solr 7.4.0

Quick Start

1. Download and install Solr 7.4.0
   • http://archive.apache.org/dist/lucene/solr/7.4.0/
   • https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/7_4/installing-solr.html
2. Create directory:

   ${SOLR_HOME}/server/solr/vivocore/
   

   • Where ${SOLR_HOME} is the directory in which you installed Solr (e.g. /opt/solr/solr-7.4.0/)
3. Add the vivocore directory of this GitHub repo and its contents into ${SOLR_HOME}/server/solr/
   • The end result should be a directory structure such as

   ${SOLR_HOME}/server/solr/vivocore/core.properties
                                 └── conf/
                                      ├── currency.xml
                                      ├── elevate.xml
                                      └── ... 
   

4. Start solr

   ${SOLR_HOME}/bin/solr start

5. Remove schema.xml from ${SOLR_HOME}/server/solr/vivocore/conf

   When solr was started it created the managed-schema automatically from the schema.xml and is no longer needed.
   

6. Update VIVO runtime.properties

   vitro.local.solr.url = http://localhost:8983/solr/vivocore   
   

7. Start VIVO!
