Getting started
Deploy the Server
Brew (Mac OS)
brew update && brew install meilisearch
meilisearch
Docker
docker run -p 7700:7700 -v $(pwd)/data.ms:/data.ms getmeili/meilisearch
Run on Digital Ocean
APT (Debian & Ubuntu)
echo "deb [trusted=yes] https://apt.fury.io/meilisearch/ /" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/fury.list
apt update && apt install meilisearch-http
meilisearch
Download the binary (Linux & Mac OS)
curl -L https://install.meilisearch.com | sh
./meilisearch
Compile and run it from sources
If you have the latest stable Rust toolchain installed on your local system, clone the repository and change it to your working directory.
git clone https://github.com/meilisearch/MeiliSearch.git
cd MeiliSearch
In the cloned repository, compile MeiliSearch.
rustup override set stable
rustup update stable
cargo run --release
Create an Index and Upload Some Documents
Let's create an index! If you need a sample dataset, use this movie database. You can also find it in the datasets/
directory.
curl -L 'https://bit.ly/2PAcw9l' -o movies.json
MeiliSearch can serve multiple indexes, with different kinds of documents. It is required to create an index before sending documents to it.
curl -i -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:7700/indexes' --data '{ "name": "Movies", "uid": "movies" }'
Now that the server knows about your brand new index, you're ready to send it some data.
curl -i -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:7700/indexes/movies/documents' \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
--data-binary @movies.json
Search for Documents
In command line
The search engine is now aware of your documents and can serve those via an HTTP server.
The jq
command-line tool can greatly help you read the server responses.
curl 'http://127.0.0.1:7700/indexes/movies/search?q=botman+robin&limit=2' | jq

Use the Web Interface
We also deliver an out-of-the-box web interface in which you can test MeiliSearch interactively.
You can access the web interface in your web browser at the root of the server. The default URL is http://127.0.0.1:7700. All you need to do is open your web browser and enter MeiliSearch’s address to visit it. This will lead you to a web page with a search bar that will allow you to search in the selected index.
Documentation
Now that your MeiliSearch server is up and running, you can learn more about how to tune your search engine in the documentation.
