Install Solr

1. Extract Solr in any directory where you want to extract it.

2. open command prompt with administrator mode and go to bin directory under solr directory.
3. type command "solr start -p [port]" but remeber this port because we need this port is required for sitecore installation.
4. open browser and type in address bar http://localhost:[port].

Install Solr as a window Service

Avoid the above steps to run the solr, we will install the service through NSSM. NSSM is a utility to install the window service

1. Got o NSSM utility folder and type "nssm.exe install Solr" and then enter one screen will be open and set the paramter according to the figure

3. Copy Certificate file "solr-ssl.keystore.jks" and "solr-ssl.keystore.p12" into "solr-6.6.2\server\etc" folder
4. set below line in solr.cmd file(this file exists in bin folder under solr)

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

How to solve solr installtion is issues

1. Keytool issue : if installation failed due keytool.exe then check your environment setting and when you set the environment setting, remember close the powershell and open it again.
2. Again you facing keytool issue then open normail powershell in administrator mode. we have 2 powershell, one is window powershell and other window powershell ISE. So we will use only powershell not ISE
3. Certificate Issue : if you face certificate issue then remove the certificate file "solr-ssl.keystore.jks" and type sert into search bar, you will get 2 option one is user certificate and other is computer certificate. remove the certificate entry from both
