| # System Requirements |
| |
| Apache Lucene runs on Java 8 or greater. |
| |
| It is also recommended to always use the latest update version of your |
| Java VM, because bugs may affect Lucene. An overview of known JVM bugs |
| can be found on http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/JavaBugs |
| |
| With all Java versions it is strongly recommended to not use experimental |
| `-XX` JVM options. |
| |
| CPU, disk and memory requirements are based on the many choices made in |
| implementing Lucene (document size, number of documents, and number of |
| hits retrieved to name a few). The benchmarks page has some information |
| related to performance on particular platforms. |
| |
| *To build Apache Lucene from source, refer to the `BUILD.txt` file in |
| the distribution directory.* |
