How to Install Elasticsearch

1. install elasticsearch



cd ~

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre-headless -y



Check http://www.elasticsearch.org/download/ for latest version of ElasticSearch and replace wget link below


2. NEW WAY / EASY WAY
I personally prefer this type of install, it's simple, yet include a service wrapper. The configure file is located in /etc/elasticsearch

wget https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-0.90.5.deb

sudo dpkg -i elasticsearch-0.90.5.deb

sudo service elasticsearch start



3. OLD WAY / HARD WAY

wget https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-0.90.0.tar.gz

tar -xf elasticsearch-0.90.0.tar.gz

rm elasticsearch-0.90.0.tar.gz

sudo mv elasticsearch-* elasticsearch

sudo mv elasticsearch /usr/local/share



curl -L http://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-servicewrapper/tarball/master | tar -xz

sudo mv *servicewrapper*/service /usr/local/share/elasticsearch/bin/

rm -Rf *servicewrapper*

sudo /usr/local/share/elasticsearch/bin/service/elasticsearch install

sudo ln -s `readlink -f /usr/local/share/elasticsearch/bin/service/elasticsearch` /usr/local/bin/rcelasticsearch

4. START SERVICE

sudo service elasticsearch start

curl http://localhost:9200



5. CONFIGURATION
Usually we need to configure the Cluster Name and Node Name in /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml,as in the same local network, the servers with the same cluster name will be joined together, and a simple and fixed node name is easier for maintenance.
