Running the Installation Wizard

# Double-click the installation file (.JAR or .EXE). The Information screen appears.
\\
\\ {info}If the installer does not open when you double-click it, open a command shell or prompt, make sure that Java 6 or greater is in your path, and launch the installer manually with the command {{java \-jar <file-name.jar>}}.{info}
\\
# Click *Next*. A list of prerequisites for installing LucidWorks Search appears.
\\
\\
# Make sure your system meets the specified requirements, then click *Next*. The License Agreements screen appears.
\\
\\
# Read the license. If you accept its terms, click the button that reads, "I accept the terms of this license agreement."
\\
\\
# Click *Next*. The *Components to Enable* screen appears.
\\
\\
The installer displays a list of LucidWorks Search components and their default addresses. We recommend that you install all components, unless you are working on a custom installation. See [Working With LucidWorks Search Components|lweug:Working With LucidWorks Search Components] for more information.
\\
\\
# Configure the components dialog box to select the LucidWorks Search components and network addresses you want to install.
\\
\\ {note:title=Remove Default Addresses to Skip Components}
If you choose not to install a component, be sure to uncheck the box next to the component name _and_ remove its default address (or change it to the location where that component is installed). If the address is not removed or changed, the component will not be installed, but the default address will be entered into the {{master.conf}} configuration file, which will cause installed components to try to access the skipped component at that address.

# Click *Next*. The installer will ask you to confirm the installation location before proceeding.
\\
\\
# Click *OK*. The LucidWorks System Monitor Screen appears. This screen allows you to opt-in to or opt-out of the LucidWorks System Usage Monitor program, which sends anonymous, encrypted data about your system to LucidWorks. A link on the screen will take you to the LucidWorks website for more information, or you can look in this documentation for the section on [lweug:LucidWorks System Usage Monitor]. Uncheck the box to opt-out of the program, or leave the box checked to opt-in.
\\
\\
# Click *Next*. The Summary of Choices screen appears.
\\
\\
# Confirm your installation choices, then click *Next*. The LucidWorks Search installation begins.
\\
\\
# When the installation is finished, click *Next*. The Start LucidWorks Search screen appears. To start LucidWorks Search immediately, check the Start LucidWorks box. If installing in Windows, you will be prompted to start LucidWorks Search as a service. If you opt not to install as a service, the next screen will ask if you want to start LucidWorks Search.
\\
\\
# Click *Next*. The installer initiates the LucidWorks Search [start scripts|Starting and Stopping LucidWorks Search]. In most installations, these start quickly, but it may take up to one minute for the scripts to complete. The installer allows you to continue while the scripts work in the background.
\\
\\
# Click *Next*.
\\
\\
# As a final step, the installer can create an automated installation script that includes the settings you chose that you can use to run unattended installations. To generate an automated installation script, click *[Generate an automatic installation script|lweug:Automating Installation Options for Installation to Multiple Environments]*. Otherwise, click *Done*.

You have now installed LucidWorks Search. If you accepted the default component locations, you can access the [Administrative User Interface|help:Login Screen] at [http://localhost:8989/]. Otherwise, you can find the Administrative User Interface at the URL and port you chose in step six. Refer to the README.txt file under the installation root directory for the default password. You can change the default password using the [Users screen|help:User Management] in the Admin UI or with an API call described on the [Users API|lweug:Users] page.
