Debian How to Install Elasticsearch with Debian Package

[root]

Installing from the APT repository
Download and install the public signing key:

wget -qO - https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | sudo apt-key add -

You may need to install the apt-transport-https package on Debian before proceeding:

apt install apt-transport-https

Save the repository definition to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elastic-7.x.list:

echo "deb https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/apt stable main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elastic-7.x.list

These instructions do not use add-apt-repository for several reasons:

1. add-apt-repository adds entries to the system /etc/apt/sources.list file rather than a clean per-repository file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
2. add-apt-repository is not part of the default install on many distributions and requires a number of non-default dependencies.
3. Older versions of add-apt-repository always add a deb-src entry which will cause errors because we do not provide a source package. If you have added the deb-src entry, you will see an error like the following until you delete the deb-src line:
   Unable to find expected entry 'main/source/Sources' in Release file
   (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

You can install the Elasticsearch Debian package with:

apt update && apt install elasticsearch

Running Elasticsearch with systemd
To configure Elasticsearch to start automatically when the system boots up, run the following commands:

/bin/systemctl daemon-reload

/bin/systemctl enable elasticsearch.service

Elasticsearch can be started and stopped as follows:

• Start your elasticsearch
  

  systemctl start elasticsearch.service

• Stop your elasticsearch
  

  systemctl stop elasticsearch.service

• Check Status
  

  systemctl status elasticsearch.service
