Second Step : Solr Installation


  1. Download the solr 6.6.2.zip from http://archive.apache.org/dist/lucene/solr/6.6.2/

  2. Extract the file on C drive

  3. Copy solrssl.ps1 from C:\SitecoreInstall to C:\solr-6.6.2\server

  4. Open the powershell as admin and run Powershell.exe -File C:\solr-6.6.2\server\solrssl.ps1 this will generate a trusted, self-signed certificate
  5. Now you should update your C:\solr-6.6.2\binsolr.in.cmd by add below

        set SOLR_SSL_KEY_STORE=etc/solr-ssl.keystore.jks
        set SOLR_SSL_KEY_STORE_PASSWORD=$KeystorePassword
        set SOLR_SSL_TRUST_STORE=etc/solr-ssl.keystore.jks
        set SOLR_SSL_TRUST_STORE_PASSWORD=$KeystorePassword

Third Step :Run Solr as service

Now you need run solr as services so I will use NSSM

  1.  Download latest version from  https://nssm.cc/download and Add extract to the same folder C:\SitecoreInstall
  2. Run the following command on power shell
    C:\SitecoreInstall\nssm-2.24-103-gdee49fc\win64\nssm install solr
  3. Fill the below data and click install service as show below

         Path= C:\solr-6.6.2\bin\solr.cmd
         Startup directory= C:\solr-6.6.2\bin
         Arguments= start -f -p8933



After that you will find servie installed with name Solr





Fourth Step : PowerShell and SQL preparations:
  1. Install SitecoreFundamentals by run the below command on Powershell

    Install-Package SitecoreFundamentals -Version 1.1.0 -Source https://sitecore.myget.org/F/sc-powershell/api/v3/index.json
  2. Install SitecoreInstallFramework  by run the below command on Powershell
    Install-Package SitecoreInstallFramework -Version 1.2.1 -Source https://sitecore.myget.org/F/sc-powershell/api/v3/index.json
  3. Make sure that you have SQL server 2016 SP2 you can install the free developer edition by following those steps  https://blog.sqlauthority.com/2016/06/01/download-sql-server-2016-developer-edition-free/
  4. Also make sure that you have you have SQL Server Authentication



Final Step : Now we need to update the script Parameter and  run the Installation script you can find
  1. Take copy from https://github.com/dgharbieh/Sitecore9Update2/blob/master/Install.ps1 and add that to your folder C:\SitecoreInstall
  2. Update all parameters and set your Database username and  password

  3. For me because I use Solr 6.6.2 instead of 6.6.1 which the default installation  configuration have so you can download the  updated the configuration from https://github.com/dgharbieh/Sitecore9Update2
    I just update the Solr to be  6.6.2 instead of 6.6.1 and the port to be 8983 in the below two file
         - sitecore-solr.json
         - xconnect-solr.json
  4. Run the below in Power shell to execute the the script
    Powershell.exe -File C:\SitecoreInstall\All\Install.ps1

    After the Tasks completed you can enjoy browsing your instance using the name you select
