New BBB User can't find the examples

I have a used BBB Industrial and re-imaged the eMMC with am335x-debian-13.3-base-v6.18-armhf-2026-01-22-4gb.img using an SD card and the boot button during a power on event.
All that seems to have worked, but the examples folder from the docs.beaglebone.org/ Introduction pages are not there. I am really new at this and I’m starting at the absolute beginning, beyond playing with some linux about 30 years ago on a PC.
While I can copy the .sh example files to the /home/debian folder and run the cat .sh command, when I then try to run the code I get a permission denied error. From the chrome webpage browser, 192.168.7.2 shows various directories, but only the BeaglePlay-io and Cockpit work. VSCode and Node-RED return “192.168.7.2 refused to connect.”

And finally a simple question. I am connected to my desktop via the mini-USB plug. Would connecting the BBB to my network via the LAN help in any way, updates, etc.?

I’ve been using BalenaEtcher and MobaXterm on A Win11Pro desktop.

Please use BeagleBoard Imager for flashing.. Due to changes in EU/UK law account setup needs to be done by end user. (aka you) With more changes happening in Cal, NY, and someplace else, more requirements are coming..

VSCode is now longer shipped in current images.. It takes too many resources on the am335x hardware. Cockpit on port 9090 should be installed..

The examples can be cloned from: GitHub - beagleboard/vsx-examples: The repository houses examples for various Beagles. · GitHub (anything with bonesript is long broken)..
