Install ElasticSearch on CentOS 6

es.sh

cd ~
sudo yum update
sudo yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk.i686 -y

wget https://github.com/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-0.19.9.tar.gz -O elasticsearch.tar.gz

tar -xf elasticsearch.tar.gz
rm elasticsearch.tar.gz
mv elasticsearch-* elasticsearch
sudo mv elasticsearch /usr/local/share

curl -L http://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-servicewrapper/tarball/master | tar -xz
mv *servicewrapper*/service /usr/local/share/elasticsearch/bin/
rm -Rf *servicewrapper*
sudo /usr/local/share/elasticsearch/bin/service/elasticsearch install
sudo /etc/init.d/elasticsearch start

#curl http://localhost:9200 

by following the example above (using elasticsearch-servicewrapper) im getting:
Starting ElasticSearch...
Waiting for ElasticSearch.....................
WARNING: ElasticSearch may have failed to start.
however starting ES via bin/elasticsearch works

In addition to what @jprante said, Set your ES_HOME and ES_HEAP_SIZE in the elasticsearch.conf before starting the service. Great work anyways.

ty!

Many thanks!!

@valuko how to set ES_HEAP_SIZE in the conf? It says to use an env variable (though I'd prefer the conf)

Download an RPM from http://www.elasticsearch.org/download/ then do sudo yum (name).rpm

good

The elasticsearch download url (line 5) is outdated, I get a 404, should be https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-0.90.5.tar.gz

Excellent, thanks.

Had to make a few adjustments but worked a charm. Thanks!

nice

Awesome

Perfect! Nice

Does anyone know how to do an upgrade using service wrapper?

Thanks for it! Now there are repos for elasticsearch - http://www.elasticsearch.org/blog/apt-and-yum-repositories/

This Works, thaks a lot ! :)

Great little resource, thanks a lot!

Update to vladakilov input:

https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-1.0.2.tar.gz

Elasticsearch installed successfully...
But getting an error while installing plugin...

Error: Could not find or load main class org.elasticsearch.plugins.PluginManager

I am executing following command:
/usr/local/share/elasticsearch/bin/plugin -install mobz/elasticsearch-head

What can be the problem ??

works perfectly. Thanks!

Thanks for the gist. Very useful, even though I installed with a repo :) +1

give me a good help

Cool, thank you

thanks for share! works like a charm with https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-1.0.2.tar.gz repo!

Thanks for this quick and easy script. How can I set HEAP (-Xmx and -Xms) when using the wrapper?

Nevermind, just discovered that JVM level configuration (such as -X parameters) should be set within the elasticsearch.conf file. The ES_HEAP_SIZE environment variable controls the maximum memory allocation for the JVM (set in megabytes). It defaults to 1024.

Nice 😄

Bam! Nice.

Does "server elasticsearch start" on CentOS not work for anyone else?

If you get the error ...

"
WARNING: ElasticSearch may have failed to start.
"

... try to use "servicewrapper" version 0.90. That version is compatible with ElasticSearch "0.19.9" or above.

servicewrapper 0.90 -> https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-servicewrapper/tree/0.90
Reference -> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21724836/elasticsearch-may-have-failed-to-start-tried-multiple-versions

@zmonteca, Not sure if you got it working for you. try "sudo service elastic search start"
