Step 1: Download Apache Solr

First, you need to download the latest version of Apache Solr from the official website by using the following command:

Replace <version> with the version number of Apache Solr that you have downloaded. For example,

To install Apache Solr, you need to navigate to the solr-<version>/bin directory and execute the following command:

$ sudo ./install_solr_service.sh solr-<version>.tgz

Replace <version> with the version of Apache Solr that you have downloaded. For example,

This command will install Apache Solr as a system service, which means that it will start automatically when the system boots up.
