    The following section will show how to use the "post" command to index files.

    First, let's run Solr using the "schemaless" example:
    $ bin/solr start -e schemaless
    Creating Solr home directory /opt/solr/example/schemaless/solr

Starting up Solr on port 8983 using command: "/opt/solr/bin/solr" start -p 8983 -s "/opt/solr/example/schemaless/solr"
Waiting up to 180 seconds to see Solr running on port 8983 [|]
Started Solr server on port 8983 (pid=11302). Happy searching!

Created new core 'gettingstarted'

Solr schemaless example launched successfully. Direct your Web browser to http://localhost:8983/solr to visit the Solr Admin UI

    Use the "post" command to index files:
    $ bin/post -c gettingstarted /opt/solr/example/exampledocs/*.xml
    /opt/jdk1.8.0_172/bin/java
    -classpath
    /opt/solr/dist/solr-core-9.8.1.jar
