How to install endeca?

Question

I wan't to learn Endeca Search. After searching a lot I have not found any link to download and install Endeca. I am using windows XP Service Pack 2(32 bit). Where should I download it? How should I install it?

Answer 1

While Endeca isn't free, you can still download it from Oracle's software delivery cloud: https://edelivery.oracle.com. You'll not be able to use it in a production environment without purchasing a license from Oracle.

@PaulLemke had good links to the contacts and docs. If you want to ask questions, you can either use My Oracle Support (for paid customers) or the free forums on OTN: https://forums.oracle.com/forums/category.jspa?categoryID=514.

Answer 3

Endeca is not a free product and therefore is not publicly available for download. To get an evaluation copy of the software you will have to contact Endeca's new ownere: Oracle.

On the Endeca homepage there is a "Global Contacts" on the right side which will help you get in contact with someone that can help you get a copy of the install.

Here is the documentation index. Here is the latest install guide. The installation is pretty straight forward depending on the OS.
