In order to use Sphinx, we must install the daemon on our server. This recipe is all about installing the Windows version of the Sphinx daemon.

  1. Go to http://sphinxsearch.com/downloads/release/ and download the latest version of Sphinx for MySQL, either the 64-bit or 32-bit version depending on our version of Windows. For this recipe, we'll assume that we're running a 64-bit version of Windows.

  2. Navigate to the Downloads folder and extract the ZIP file.

  3. Extract the file to a location that is convenient. This recipe will assume that we extracted the files to C:\Sphinx (as the Sphinx docs recommend).

  4. If the unzipping process creates a Sphinx subfolder (such as sphinx-2.1.3-release-win64) under C:\Sphinx move the contents of that subdirectory to the C:\Sphinx folder and then remove the empty directory using the following statements:

    cd C:\Sphinx 
    mv .\sphinx-2.1.3-release-win64\* .\
    rmdir sphinx-2.1.3-release-win64
    
  5. Configure Sphinx as described...
