I'm trying to install ElasticSearch 2.1 on Ubuntu 14 following these instructions [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-repositories.html.](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-repositories.html) I have followed the instructions exactly, but receive the error message "E: Unable to locate package elasticsearch." Downloading 1.7 works fine (echo "deb [http://packages.elastic.co/elasticsearch/1.7/debian](http://packages.elastic.co/elasticsearch/1.7/debian) stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elasticsearch-1.7.list). It is the 2.x version that is not working. ---

Worked perfectly fine for me? ---

I have tried it on a newly installed virtually machine and receive the same error message. ---

Here are my results: [http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=631eqvtF](http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=631eqvtF) It looks like the difference is that I am on a 32-bit architecture and yours is 64-bit. ---

Oh, I don't know if we have 32 bit packages? ---

Okay, thank you for the help, I'll install manually. Are there any plans to have 32-bit packages for the 2.x releases? ---

I've asked the team, will see what they say. ---

Hi Mark, is there any update from the team? ---

We don't build 32bit packages. I'm not even sure whether Elasticsearch will work properly with a 32bit JVM. I'd download the tarball and test it before going to the next step. ---

ES does work with 32bit JVM.
