As the app is only using the standard Apache Solr REST API and Hue allows to customize which apps to show, the answer is yes! **Note**: this is an alternative to configure the [groups and application permissions][2] directly in the User Admin. {{< youtube lZTHhOtmFN4 >}}   **1.** Install Hue from the links on the 'Download' section menu [][3]   **2.** Only enable the Solr Search App In the hue.ini (See '[Where is my hue.ini][4]'?), blacklist all the other apps:


[desktop]

app_blacklist=beeswax,impala,security,filebrowser,jobbrowser,rdbms,jobsub,pig,hbase,sqoop,zookeeper,metastore,spark,oozie

At the same time, double check Hue is pointing to your correct Solr:


[search]

solr_url=http://localhost:8983/solr/

  Restart Hue and voila! Drag & drop widgets and build dynamic search dashboards in seconds! [][5]   Have any questions? Feel free to contact us on [hue-user][6] or [@gethue][7]!   **Note** If you want to install the examples you could enable the [indexer][8]
