I have a VM running Ubuntu 12.04, and am trying to install ElasticSearch. I have followed this gist in the best 'learn X the hard way' spirit, and everything installs fine - packages are downloaded, untarred, copied to right place etc.
The problem comes when I run it - either by calling:
$ /usr/local/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch
or by using the service wrapper ($ rselasticsearch console
)
The output is logged to wrapper.log
and is included below. I think that I may be having JAVA home / classpath issues, but am not sure.
Any help most gratefully received!

Update
Given that we are now in 2016, the easiest way to run ES on Ubuntu is to use Docker. docker run elasticsearch
will download the latest and run it in the foreground, and obviously you can run it as a daemon, or run a specific version (e.g. elasticsearch:1.7.2
), and set the ports etc.
Word of warning to anyone trying what I did before - the URL specified in the Gist is to the source version, not the compiled version, hence there being no *.class files.
You can use the Gist as is, but substitute the latest download URL from the ElasticSearch site instead of the github URL that is there at the moment, e.g.:
....
wget https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-1.1.1.tar.gz -O elasticsearch.tar.gz
tar -xf elasticsearch.tar.gz
rm elasticsearch.tar.gz
sudo mv elasticsearch-* elasticsearch
sudo mv elasticsearch /usr/local/share
...
** This is the lastest version as of 20/5/2014. To get more updated version, visit this page, right click on the TAR link (under Downloads Section), copy the link and replace the wget argument in the first line.
I installed elasticsearch the same way you did and ran into the same issue. In the end I fixed the issue by installing the compiled version rather than from github. It involves using the same steps as the gist, except use the tar from http://www.elasticsearch.org/download/2012/12/27/0.20.2.html rather than github. I forked and updated the gist, which is available at https://gist.github.com/4512530. Hope this helps.
follow this step and easily configer an Elastic Search.
Step 1 — Installing Java :
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre
$ java -version
Step 2 — Downloading and Installing Elasticsearch :
$ wget https://download.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-1.7.2.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i elasticsearch-1.7.2.deb
$ sudo update-rc.d elasticsearch defaults
Step 3 — Configuring Elastic :
$ sudo nano /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml
node.name: "My First Node"
cluster.name: mycluster1
$ sudo service elasticsearch start
Step 4 — Securing Elastic :
$ sudo nano /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml
network.bind_host: localhost
script.disable_dynamic: true
Step 5 — Testing :
$ curl -X GET 'http://localhost:9200' or run http://localhost:9200 in any browser.
You should see the following response:
{
"status" : 200,
"name" : "Harry Leland",
"cluster_name" : "elasticsearch",
"version" : {
"number" : "1.7.2",
"build_hash" : "e43676b1385b8125d647f593f7202acbd816e8ec",
"build_timestamp" : "2015-09-14T09:49:53Z",
"build_snapshot" : false,
"lucene_version" : "4.10.4"
},
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

Depackaging the deb file available on the elasticsearch website worked fine for me:
sudo dpkg -i elasticsearch-1.1.1.deb
Installing through apt
as documented at https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-repositories.html seems to work well.
