 +Next install JDK (the Java Development Kit) on the server – VuFind's searching back-end and MARC indexing tools rely on Java. Note that some VuFind components may be able to run using only the JRE (Java Runtime Environment), but the JDK is strongly recommended, and required for proper MARC indexing after release 3.1.
  
 You can download the JDK [[http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/?intcmp=1281|here]].  You should be able to use all the default installation options. You can download the JDK [[http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/?intcmp=1281|here]].  You should be able to use all the default installation options.

 === Configuring Solr === === Configuring Solr ===
  
-:!: Important -- the instructions in this section are probably not necessary for VuFind 3.0 or newer; please ignore unless you are using an older version. :!: +Starting with VuFind 3.0, no special Solr configuration should be necessary for the software to run correctly in Windows. If you encounter problems in VuFind 2.x or earlierit may be necessary to edit the various solrconfig.xml files under VuFind's Solr directory to change relative paths to absolute paths.
- +
-The config files for each Solr index are currently set up to use relative paths.  Because Windows services run in a different user context with different working directories, Solr may have problems finding its index files If you skip this stepyou may find that searches never yield any results.  To be on the safe side, you should reconfigure Solr to explicitly point out where the index files live. +
- +
-In the following files: +
-    c:/vufind/solr/biblio/conf/solrconfig.xml +
-    c:/vufind/solr/authority/conf/solrconfig.xml +
-    c:/vufind/solr/stats/conf/solrconfig.xml +
- +
-Find the node: +
-    \config\dataDir +
- +
-And change the relative paths currently there to+
-    c:/vufind/solr/biblio +
-    c:/vufind/solr/authority +
-    c:/vufind/solr/stats +
- +
-For example, you would change this: +
- +
-<code xml> +
-  <dataDir>${solr.data.dir:./solr/biblio}</dataDir>  +
-</code> +
- +
-to this: +
- +
-<code xml> +
-  <dataDir>c:/vufind/solr/biblio</dataDir>  +
