# This mostly worked, I had to remove the argument for default.path.home and prepend each arg with -E (ES version 5.0+ breaking change)
# 
# Add the following to your path and load (for ubuntu, actual paths may vary)
# Elastic Search Settings --
# ES_JAVA_OPTS="-Des.logger.level=INFO"
# LOG_DIR="/var/log/elasticsearch"
# DATA_DIR="/var/lib/elasticsearch"
# CONF_DIR="/etc/elasticsearch"
# ES_HOME="/usr/share/elasticsearch"
#
# Finally you should now be able to manually run ElasticSearch
sudo -u elasticsearch ES_JAVA_OPTS=$ES_JAVA_OPTS bash -x $ES_HOME/bin/elasticsearch --verbose -Edefault.path.logs=$LOG_DIR -Edefault.path.data=$DATA_DIR -Edefault.path.conf=$CONF_DIR
