I have installed elasticsearch trough the rpm i downloaded from here and run it with the standard rpm -ivh command. It installs the config file at /etc/elasticsearch, but thats it.
Now i want to install a plugin and the readme told me to navigate to the elasticsearch/bin/plugin folder, but i don't have one.
How can i install the plugin for Elasticsearch?

After creating this topic, someone came up with
curl "localhost:9200/\_nodes/settings?pretty=true"
And so i found the work directory of Elasticsearch. Sorry for this topic, but perhaps someone can use it in the future.
