- Download the Manticore Search Installer and run it. Follow the installation instructions.
- Choose the directory to install to.
- Select the components you want to install. We recommend installing all of them.
- Manticore comes with a preconfigured
manticore.conf
file in RT mode. No additional configuration is required.
To install searchd
(Manticore Search server) as a Windows service, run:
\path\to\searchd.exe --install --config \path\to\config --servicename Manticore
Make sure to use the full path of the configuration file, otherwise searchd.exe
will not be able to locate it when it starts as a service.
After installation, the service can be started from the Services snap-in of the Microsoft Management Console.
Once started, you can access Manticore using the MySQL command line interface:
mysql -P9306 -h127.0.0.1
Note that in most examples in this manual, we use -h0
to connect to the local host, but in Windows, you must use localhost
or 127.0.0.1
explicitly.
