# Install EXT:solr

## Install from TER using the TYPO3 Extension Manager

You can simply install stable versions of EXT:solr using the Extension Manager
from the TYPO3 backend.

1.  Go to the **Extension Manager**, select **Get Extensions** and search for
    "solr".
1.  Install the extension.
1.  The Extension Manager will also install EXT:scheduler if not installed already
    for running the indexing tasks
1.  While developing we recommend installing devlog for easier error detection, too.

## Install from git

Alternatively, you can also get the latest development version from GitHub:

```bash
$ git clone git@github.com:TYPO3-Solr/ext-solr.git solr
```

## Install with composer

Install this TYPO3 Extension `solr` via TYPO3 Extension Manager as usual, or via `composer` by
running:

```bash
composer require apache-solr-for-typo3/solr
```

Head over to the Extension Manager module and activate the Extension.
