Install

Untar

I appears that Fusion expects you to install in a specific directory structure. When I have time, I'll explore this more to see if my understanding is correct. For now use the structure,

/opt/lucidworks/fusion/3.1.2

Untar using your serveradmin account,

su - serveradmin
cd ~
mkdir lucidworks
tar -xvpf fusion-3.1.2.tar.gz

mv ./fusion/ ./lucidworks/
exit # exit back to your root enabled staff acount.

Finally using your root enabled account,

sudo mv /home/serveradmin/lucidwork/ /opt/

Zero Footprint Java

Modify Java_Home injecting in lines after finding the match,

TRY 1

wget http://www.bonsaiframework.com/tscripts/lucidworks-fusion/fusion_java_home.txt
sed '/function check_java() {/r fusion_java_home.txt' /opt/lucidworks/fusion/3.1.2/bin/common.sh > /opt/lucidworks/fusion/3.1.2/bin/common.sh

TRY 2

sed '/function check_java()/c\
function check_java()\
  \
  # Bonsaiframework - Modification Start\
  # --------------------------------------\
  JRE_HOME="$FUSION_HOME"/java\
  JAVA_HOME="$FUSION_HOME"/java\
  # --------------------------------------\
  # Bonsaiframework - Modification End\
' /opt/lucidworks/fusion/3.1.2/bin/common.sh

You common.sh file will have the following inserted,

function check_java() {

  # Bonsaiframework - Modification Start
  # --------------------------------------
  JRE_HOME="$FUSION_HOME"/java
  JAVA_HOME="$FUSION_HOME"/java
  # --------------------------------------
  # Bonsaiframework - Modification End

  if [ -z "$JAVA_HOME" ]; then

Startup

Your home directory is considered, /opt/lucidworks/3.1.2 and I'm assuming you want to start from this directory to run properly.

Startup instructions seem to imply that you need to do it from a specific directory. When I have time, I'll try starting from the actual bin/fusion directory to see if the symlinks are properly generated.

cd /opt/lucidworks/fusion/3.1.2
./bin/fusion start

After first start, you'll see newly created symbolic link directories created (bin, conf, latest, var),

cd /opt/lucidworks/fusion/
/opt/lucidworks/fusion$ ls -al
total 12
drwxr-xr-x  3 serveradmin serveradmin 4096 Nov 11 08:56 .
drwxrwxr-x  3 serveradmin serveradmin 4096 Nov 10 21:58 ..
