External Libraries

Lando supports external libraries available on Pantheon's Gen 2 runtime.

Tika

Apache Tika is available for text extraction.

Tika 1.x (Default)

Tika 1.18 and 1.21 are pre-installed:

• /srv/bin/tika-app-1.18.jar
• /srv/bin/tika-app-1.21.jar

Note: Tika 1.x will no longer be available on Pantheon starting January 19, 2026.

Tika 3 (Recommended)

For PHP Runtime Generation 2, you can enable Tika 3 by adding to your pantheon.yml:

tika_version: 3

When enabled, Tika 3 will be available at /opt/pantheon/tika/tika.jar.

Tooling Configuration

Add Tika as a tooling command in your Landofile:

    service: appserver
    cmd: java -jar /srv/bin/tika-app-1.18.jar

  # For Tika 3
