If you are installing LucidWorks Search on a computer without a graphical user interface (i.e., a "headless" machine), you can run the installer in "console" mode.

The installer assumes a single-node installation, particularly in regard to starting LucidWorks Search at the end of the installation process. If, however, you are installing LucidWorks Search on multiple nodes of a cluster to run in SolrCloud mode, you should review the startup instructions at Using SolrCloud in LucidWorks. The most important point to know during installation is that you should not start LucidWorks at the end of the installation process and instead use the bootstrap instructions described in Using SolrCloud in LucidWorks.
  1. Launch the installer with the command java -jar <file-name.jar> -console. (The name of your download may differ from the name displayed here.)

    bash-3.2$ java -jar lucidworks-search-installer-2.0.jar -console
    


  2. Read through the license, then press '1' at the end to accept the license terms.

    ....
    You agree that this Agreement is the complete Agreement for the Programs and licenses, and this Agreement
    supersedes all prior or contemporaneous Agreements or representations. If any term of this Agreement is

    governed by the substantive and procedural laws of California. You and Lucid agree to submit to the exclusive

  3. Select each component to install and choose the address and port each component will run on (this is multiple steps).

    Please select which LucidWorks Search components should be enabled on this server, or specify the remote address of a component if it will run remotely:
    
    
      [x] Run LucidWorks Search Core Locally
    input 1 to select, 0 to deselect:
    1
    Address [http://127.0.0.1:8888] 
    
      [x] Run LucidWorks Search Connectors Locally
    input 1 to select, 0 to deselect:
    1
    Address [http://127.0.0.1:8765] 
    
      [x] Run LucidWorks Search UI Locally
    input 1 to select, 0 to deselect:
    1
    Address [http://127.0.0.1:8989] 
    
    Note: Components will communicate with each other using these addresses, and if enabled on this machine, 
    will run on the port given in the address. Leave the address blank to keep a component from being used (locally or remotely)
    press 1 to continue, 2 to quit, 3 to redisplay

  4. After approving the components to install, select the directory location for the install. This will be the base path for $LWS_HOME, which is referenced throughout this Guide when discussing configuration and log file locations.

    Select target path [/Users/cassandra4work/Downloads]
    /Applications/LucidWorks/LucidWorksSearch
    press 1 to continue, 2 to quit, 3 to redisplay

  5. After defining the installation location, choose whether to opt-in or opt-out of the LucidWorks System Usage Monitor, which will send anonymous, encrypted statistics about your system to LucidWorks.

    <html>LucidWorks Search product lets you share optional usage statistics with LucidWorks to help us improve our products. 
    To find out more about this feature, including how to disable it, click 
    <a href='http://www.lucidworks.com/lucidworks-system-usage-monitor'>here</a>.</html>
    
      [x] Enable LucidWorks System Usage Monitor
    input 1 to select, 0 to deselect:
    


  6. The installer installs LucidWorks Search, and asks if you want to start the servers. If you intend to use LucidWorks Search in SolrCloud mode, you should not start LucidWorks Search with this installer (see the section Using SolrCloud in LucidWorks for more details.

    LucidWorks Search has been installed. Would you like to start LucidWorks Search now?
    NOTE: LucidWorks Search will be started in the background and may take some time to complete loading.
    You may continue on with the installer before it finishes loading. 
    Depending on your system hardware, LucidWorks Search may take some time to finish loading even after the installer has been closed.

  7. Finally, the installer displays confirmation of the successful installation.

If you specified that the installer should start LucidWorks Search, you can access the Admin UI at the address you specified during the component configuration (the default is http://localhost:8989). A user named "admin" is created during the installation process with a default password that can be found in the README.txt file found under $LWS_HOME/app. The default password can be changed with either the User page in the Admin UI or the User API.
