Configure Alfresco Data Source
- Download the SearchBlox Connector UI. Extract the downloaded zip to a folder.

- Unzip the archive under C:* or /opt*.
- Create a data folder on your drive where the files would be temporarily stored.

In Linux, make sure that necessary permissions have been provided to the folder /opt by using the CHMOD command for writing log files and executing jar files.
