Huh, strange - I didn't even notice that you could create cores through the UI. I suppose it depends what order you read and infer from the documentation.
See "Create a Core": https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Running+Solr I followed the "solr create -help" option to work out how to create a non-datadriven core (i.e. solr create_core), but I suppose this could be a little more explicit.

But it took a post and a response on the user-forum for me to learn this! Rather, it should be added to the "Solr Quick Start" document.
