This section describes how to install Groonga on Windows. You can install Groogna by extracting a zip package or running an installer.
We distribute both 32-bit and 64-bit packages but we strongly recommend a 64-bit package for server. You should use a 32-bit package just only for tests or development. You will encounter an out of memory error with a 32-bit package even if you just process medium size data.
For 32-bit environment, download x86 executable binary from packages.groonga.org:
