In current INSTALL.md file we see those example paths of Solr core:

mkdir $SOLR/server/solr/$CORE
mkdir $SOLR/server/solr/$CORE/conf
echo "name=$CORE" > $SOLR/server/solr/$CORE/core.properties

But in most Solr instances core files are located not in server/solr folder (because often this is read-only folder for solr user with Solr distributive files), but in something like /var/solr/data - not? Only in Docker-like system core files are placed together with system files, in server/solr folder.

So, maybe fix this discrepancy and place more popular place for core data location? Or describe both variants, including /var/solr/data?

The instructions in INSTALL.md are correct as they are written for the Solr download version:

Download the latest version of Solr 7.x or 8.x from
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/lucene/solr/ and unpack the archive
somewhere outside of your web server's document tree. The unpacked Solr
directory is named `$SOLR` in these instructions.

We can't provide detailed instructions for any scenario. But anyway I propose adding a note to the file.
