Hi.  
I try to run Elasticsearch in Hortonworks Data Platform.  
I got error "bash: ./bin/elasticsearch: Permission denied ".  
Below you can see part of the script.

Could you help me? Thanks in advance.

[root@sandbox-hdp elasticsearch-6.2.4]# su maria\_dev  
[maria\_dev@sandbox-hdp elasticsearch-6.2.4]$ ./bin/elasticsearch  
bash: ./bin/elasticsearch: Permission denied

chmod -R 775 elasticsearch-6.2.4
