I started playing around with elasticsearch and after searching a little bit I found a way to install it quickly and with minimal/default settings
By executing the following steps:
rpm --import https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch
vim /etc/yum.repos.d/elasticsearch.repo
You need to add the following:
[Elasticsearch-7]
name=Elasticsearch repository for 7.x packages
baseurl=https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/yum
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch
enabled=1
autorefresh=1
type=rpm-md
Next we just need to run:
yum install -y elasticsearch
Lastly, let’s make a small change on the settings by editing the following file:
vim /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml
Update the following line to make it look like this:
network.host: localhost
Now, please start the service and test it running:
curl -X GET "localhost:9200/?pretty"
It should return something otherwise something is wrong.
