There are two ways of installing LucidWorks Enterprise:
- You can run the installer in graphical mode, which guides you through a series of dialog boxes, then installs and configures the software.
- You can run the installer in console mode, which limits the installer's interface to the command line. If you do not have access to the graphical user interface of the system you are installing the software on, run the installer in console mode.
For Linux and Mac systems, the install file is called lucidworks-enterprise-installer-2.0.jar.
For Windows systems, the install file is called lucidworks-enterprise-installer-2.0.exe. On Windows, the installer should be run with Administrator privileges to ensure proper installation.
