Project installation

Installation using composer (recommended)

Assuming that your site is managed via Composer, use composer to download the module. The following command will fetch the latest version and place it in the contrib modules folder:

composer require drupal/search_api_opensolr

If you want to download a specific version or a different rule for version, check the guide on how to manage projects versions with composer.

Alternative ways of downloading the module

If you are somehow not using a composer based site, download the module from the Downloads section of the module page and place the contents of the archive in the modules/contrib folder.

Enabling the module

Once the contents of the module are downloaded and placed in the correct folder, you can enable it using drush or manually from the administration page that handles modules.

1. Using drush:

drush en search_api_opensolr

2. Using the administration page

Go the the Extend administration page.

Use the search box to filter the available modules by opensolr key and then select the Search API opensolr module by clicking on the checkbox next to it and then save using the button from the bottom of the page.

Now, the module should be ready for use. The same process is applied for any of the Search API opensolr submodules when it comes to enabling them.
