What you need for this book

With an intention to run most of the examples in the book, you will need a XAMPP or any other Linux-based web server, Apache Tomcat or Jetty, Java JDK (latest version), Apache Solr 4.x, and Solr PHP client.

A couple of concepts in this book will require additional software and/or tools such as Tomcat Add-on, Opsview, New Relic, and Solr performance monitoring.
