I'm working my way through The Logstash Book and am just at the bit where I install my very first plugin. When I try to run it I get the following error though: ``` C:\logstash-2.3.2\bin>logstash-plugin install mobz/elasticsearch-head io/console not supported; tty will not be manipulated Validating mobz/elasticsearch-head Plugin mobz/elasticsearch-head does not exist ERROR: Installation aborted, verification failed for mobz/elasticsearch-head ``` I'm using an Azure Windows 10 VM. Any suggestions? Cheers Dave ---

Got it! This is an ElasticSearch plugin, not a Logstash one. Also, on windows, the exe is currently still called `plugin`. ---
