This is part 1 in a series of a few that helps people explore the Apache Solr module.

This tutorial explains visually how to install the module and how to get started with the solr server. My plan is to create a bunch of these tutorials to help people out. I hope I can cover all the UI + all API functions at least once in practice.

This is partly a preparation for a workshop I am preparing for Drupalcamp Porto.
