It depends what you are intending to do: - If you want to write an application that uses Apache Lucene, you can use the binary tgz file. It will contain all needed JARs to build an application. Alternatively, setup a Maven project and add the Lucene dependencies (core, analyzers, queryparser,...). - If you want to hack Apache Lucene itself (changing implementation, submitting patches to the developers), check out SVN and start with running "ant" to build. To setup in IDEs use "ant eclipse" or "ant idea", which builds project files that you can import into your IDE - You only need to do this if you want to modify Lucene, not to use it - If you don't want to code and just use a Server with Lucene (like a database server), you can start with Apache Solr or ElasticSearch.
