Specifying the location of the Slimmer asset host

Set the SLIMMER_ASSET_HOST environment variable, e.g. SLIMMER_ASSET_HOST=http://static.dev bundle exec rackup. If you're using pow then you can set this environment variable in .powrc (which is gitignored).

Installing Solr

You can install solr using Homebrew on a Mac.

$ brew install solr

Starting Solr

Our solr config lives in alphagov-deployment and is currently configured to expect config files to live in /etc/solr and data to live in /var/solr. The simplest way to achieve this is to symlink them manually.

$ export ALPHAGOV_DEPLOY_PATH=/path/to/alphagov-deployment
$ sudo ln -s $ALPHAGOV_DEPLOY_PATH/alphagov-puppet/puppet/modules/solr/files/etc/solr /etc/solr
$ sudo ln -s $ALPHAGOV_DEPLOY_PATH/alphagov-puppet/puppet/modules/solr/files/var/solr /var/solr
$ solr $ALPHAGOV_DEPLOY_PATH/alphagov-puppet/puppet/modules/solr/files
