: However, when I try to follow the instructions for loading the examples : I find that there is a file that I am supposed to have called post.jar : which I cannot find in the directory specified, exampledocs. There is a : file called post in another directory but it does not seem to be a : .jar file. the specifics of what you have done, what you are looking at, and what you see are really important. 1) what exactly did you download? ie: what filename? from what URL? 2) what instructions are you looking at? 3) do you see an exampledocs directory at all? what's in it? For example... I just clicked on the DOWNLOAD button on the solr website, where the URL https://lucene.apache.org/solr/mirrors-solr-latest-redir.html redirected me to a solr mirror, and i downloaded the file solr-5.2.1.zip After i unzipped it, i followed along with this tutorial... https://lucene.apache.org/solr/quickstart.html and noted a link for windows users that pointed to this doc... https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Post+Tool#PostTool-Windows and confirmed that my solr-5.2.1/example/exampledocs/ directory contains a post.jar file which i can use to index the same documents.
