Start your Solr Admin

Create one core using following command:

solr create -c <name>

Select core from core_selector dropdown

click on documents and then add data to be added in the core.Format of document can be specify by you.

OR

Type this command in solr-(versioname)\example\exampledocs

java -Dc=my_core -Dtype=text/csv -jar post.jar test.csv

where my_core is corename,
type is csv and
test.csv is file to be imported.

Need to mention collection name, for new versions you can write simply this command.

bin/post -c gettingstarted example/exampledocs/*.xml

Executing a command line from tutorial below unix command line helped. I.e. on Windows and solr 5.4.1 my terminal line looked like

c:\solr-5.4.1> java -classpath dist/solr-core-5.4.1.jar -Dauto=yes 
    -Dc=gettingstarted -Ddata=files 
    -Drecursive=yes org.apache.solr.util.SimplePostTool docs/

When running the Solr Quick Start on Windows I faced the same problem. In the comments of the guide I found what worked for me:

C:\opt\solr-5.2.1>java -Dc=gettingstarted -jar example\exampledocs\post.jar example\exampledocs\*.xml

That got me the following output:

C:\opt\solr-5.2.1>java -Dc=gettingstarted -jar example\exampledocs\post.jar example\exampledocs\*.xml
SimplePostTool version 5.0.0

The -Dc parameter does the trick.

On the other hand when only running with the folder docs it did not work. But this is not scope of my answer since I only wanted to show how to get it running anyhow.

With version 5, the default collection has effectively gone away. So, there is no way for the tool to know which URL to use to connect to your collection.

If you are using examples, then your server is most probably default at localhost:8983 and you only need to specify the collection by name. If you are doing something more tricky, you may need to specify the whole URL.
