Hi Antonia,
I suspect that everyone would be happy with you taking the path of least
resistance with installation and deployment. As long as we can find
enough information to replicate the setup, that should be fine. It could
be good in the long run to have (or, perhaps better, be able to point
to) instructions that will show various options for installation and
deployment but that can be looked at beyond the end of the project if
necessary.
As an ASF project, Lucene are likely to provide instructions for
installing Solr from source and will probably mention one or both of
Tomcat or Jetty in it. If you prefer a package manager based
installation, that should be fine too. Unless you have a compelling
reason to go for Tomcat, if Jetty looks easier then I would go with that.
Hope that is helpful!
Cheers,
Gary
