DESCRIPTION

This module handles downloading ElasticSearch from github, building, and installing it.

It then writes a config file to remember where it was installed.

It also adds a script called install_elasticsearch.pl into your perl bin directory, which can be called as follows:

    install_elasticsearch.pl              # upgrade existing installation
    install_elasticsearch.pl --dir /path  # install to /path

To see all available options, try:

    install_elasticsearch.pl --help

REQUIREMENTS

  • Java version 6 or above
