You are not doing this on a download distribution, do you? You are using Bitnami stack or something. That's why you are not seeing the examples folder, etc.
I recommend step back, use downloaded distribution and do your learning and setup using that. Then, go and see where your production stack put various bits of Solr. Otherwise, you are doing two (15?) things at once. Regards, Alex. P.s. If you like the examples, the book actually explains what they do. You could be quarter way to mastery in less than 24 hours...
