Hi Erick, If I just run the following, I have no issue:
bin/solr start curl ' http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/cores?action=CREATE&name=test-core&instanceDir=/home/natasha/twc-session-dash1/collection1 <http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/cores?action=CREATE&name=test-core&instanceDir=/home/natasha/twc-sessions-dash/collection1> ' curl 'http://localhost:8983/solr/test-core/schema/fields' As opposed to running bin/solr start -e cloud (which spins up an example) before I load a core.
