Centos, Red Hat, and Oracle Enterprise.
RPM install is not supported on distributions with old versions of RPM, such as SLES 11 and CentOS 5. Please see Install Elasticsearch with .zip or .tar.gz instead.
Elasticsearch requires Java 8 or later. Use the official Oracle distribution or an open-source distribution such as OpenJDK.

Running Elasticsearch with systemd
To configure Elasticsearch to start automatically when the system boots up, run the following commands:
sudo /bin/systemctl daemon-reload
sudo /bin/systemctl enable elasticsearch.service
Elasticsearch can be started and stopped as follows:
sudo systemctl start elasticsearch.service
sudo systemctl stop elasticsearch.service
When systemd logging is enabled, the logging information are available using the journalctl commands:
To tail the journal:
sudo journalctl -f
To list journal entries for the elasticsearch service:
sudo journalctl --unit elasticsearch
To list journal entries for the elasticsearch service starting from a given time:
sudo journalctl --unit elasticsearch --since "2016-10-30 18:17:16"
Check man journalctl or https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/journalctl.html for more command line options.
Checking that Elasticsearch is running
You can test that your Elasticsearch node is running by sending an HTTP request to port
9200 on
localhost:
# ss -ntlp | grep 9200
LISTEN 0 128 ::ffff:127.0.0.1:9200 :::* users:(("java",pid=1287,fd=130))
LISTEN 0 128 ::1:9200 :::* users:(("java",pid=1287,fd=128))
# curl -XGET '127.0.0.1:9200/?pretty'
