Manticore Search is a full-text search engine that uses SphinxQL to provide high-performance, scalable search functionality. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Manticore Search on MXLinux Latest using the official Github repository.
To ensure that your system is up-to-date with the latest packages and dependencies, we need to update it:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Before installing Manticore Search, we need to install some dependencies, which are essential for Manticore Search to run efficiently:
sudo apt-get install g++ cmake libmysqlclient-dev libpq-dev libexpat-dev libicu-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev libxml2-dev libevent-dev
Once the dependencies are installed, we can clone the Manticore Search repository from Github using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/manticoresoftware/manticoresearch.git
This will create a copy of the repository on your system.
Before building Manticore Search, we need to create a build directory:
mkdir build && cd build/
Now, use Cmake to build and install Manticore Search:
cmake ../manticoresearch/
make
sudo make install
Once the installation process is complete, we can verify the installation by running:
searchd -h
The output should display the help options for Manticore Search Daemon.
To test Manticore Search, we need to create an index and configure it. For example, let's create an index of the English Wikipedia's dump file:
wget https://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/latest/enwiki-latest-pages-articles-multistream.xml.bz2
sudo indexer -c /etc/manticoresearch/manticore.conf wiki --rotate
The above command downloads the latest version of the English Wikipedia dump file and creates an index named "wiki". Once the index is created, we can search for any query by running:
search -c /etc/manticoresearch/manticore.conf -i wiki -q "Linux"
The above command searches for the query "Linux" in the "wiki" index. It should display the search results related to Linux.
That's it! You have successfully installed Manticore Search on MXLinux Latest.
