title: How to install SOLR 7.2.1 + Tomcat on Windows?
body: <p>I'm looking at the SOLR wiki (<a href="https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTomcat" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTomcat</a>) on how to install SOLR on Tomcat, but they talk about a WAR file and that was removed on the latest version.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how to setup it up without the war file? I want to keep SOLR running as a service on my windows server.</p>
  
  <p>I do have SOLR setup and working but I'm running on cmd line <code>solr start</code> but I need to have it running all the time as a service.</p>
