Please format your code, logs or configuration files using `</>` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) and not the citation button. It will make your post more readable.

Or use markdown style like:

````
```
CODE
```

````

This is the icon to use if you are not using markdown format:

There's a live preview panel for exactly this reasons.

Lots of people read these forums, and many of them will simply skip over a post that is difficult to read, because it's just too large an investment of their time to try and follow a wall of badly formatted text.

I updated your post.

Didn't you see this?

> We can not start Elasticsearch Client. Exiting.java.lang.RuntimeException: The Elasticsearch client version [7] is not compatible with the Elasticsearch cluster version [6.6.1].

You need to download the right version as [the documentation](https://fscrawler.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html) says:
