==How to install Sphinx on Centos Server==

==Check and see if yum/apt-get will install it.==

 yum install sphinx
or
 apt-get install sphinx

==If that does not work then lets manually install it==

Go to ->  and find the correct RPM for the OS/Arch of the server you're installing it on.

Since I am on a CentOS release 6.4 server with x86_64

 http://sphinxsearch.com/files/sphinx-2.0.9-1.rhel6.x86_64.rpm

Now I will install it with Yum
 yum localinstall sphinx-2.0.9-1.rhel6.x86_64.rpm

==Now you should get something that looks like this==

   Installing : sphinx-2.0.9-1.rhel6.x86_64                                                                                                                                  1/1 
 
 Sphinx installed!
 Now create a full-text index, start the search daemon, and you're all set.
 
 To manage indexes:
     editor /etc/sphinx/sphinx.conf
 
 To rebuild all disk indexes:
     sudo -u sphinx indexer --all --rotate
 
 To start/stop search daemon:
     service searchd start/stop
 
 To query search daemon using MySQL client:
     mysql -h 0 -P 9306
     mysql> SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE MATCH('test');
 
 See the manual at /usr/share/doc/sphinx-2.0.9 for details.
