Elasticsearch Getting started with Elasticsearch Installing Elasticsearch on Ubuntu 14.04
Example
Prerequisites
In order to run Elasticsearch, a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is required on the machine. Elasticsearch requires Java 7 or higher and recommends Oracle JDK version 1.8.0_73.
Install Oracle Java 8
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
echo "oracle-java8-installer shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1 select true" | sudo debconf-set-selections
sudo apt-get install -y oracle-java8-installer
Check Java Version
java -version
Download and Install package
Using Binaries
- Download the latest stable version of Elasticsearch here.
- Unzip the file & Run
Linux:
$ bin/elasticsearch
Using apt-get
An alternative to downloading elasticsearch from the website is installing it, using apt-get.
wget -qO - https://packages.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://packages.elastic.co/elasticsearch/2.x/debian stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elasticsearch-2.x.list
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install elasticsearch
sudo /etc/init.d/elasticsearch start
Installing elasticsearch version 5.x
wget -qO - https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
echo "deb https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/5.x/apt stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elastic-5.x.list
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install elasticsearch
Running as a service on Linux:
After Installing the above doesn't start itself. so we need to start it as a service. How to start or stop Elasticsearch depends on whether your system uses SysV init or systemd. you can check it with the following command.
ps -p 1
If your distribution is using SysV init, then you will need to run:
sudo update-rc.d elasticsearch defaults 95 10
sudo /etc/init.d/elasticsearch start
Otherwise if your distribution is using systemd:
sudo /bin/systemctl daemon-reload
sudo /bin/systemctl enable elasticsearch.service
Run the CURL command from your browser or a REST client, to check if Elasticsearch has been installed correctly.
curl -X GET http://localhost:9200/
