Configuration and Installation instructions for VIVO's external Solr

Requirements

This configuration has been tested with VIVO 1.12.3 and Solr 8.11.0 and with Docker

When using Docker the Quick Start section below is not applicable

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!
