Installing Elasticsearch using a TAR file

First, we will download Elasticsearch 6.1.3.tar, as shown in the following code block:

curl -L -O https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-6.1.3.tar.gz

Then, extract it as follows:

tar -xvf elasticsearch-6.1.3.tar.gz

You will then see that a bunch of files and folders have been created. We can now proceed to the bin directory, as follows:

cd elasticsearch-6.1.3/bin

 We are now ready to start our node and a single cluster:

./elasticsearch
