The error message shows, you are downloading x-pack for version 5.4.3, where as you need to use the same version as your elasticsearch version, which in this case is 5.4.1.

If you just run bin/elasticsearch-plugin install x-pack, there is no need to download specific versions, the tool will pick the right version for you.

Hi Alexander,

My ELK is offline. anyway I just modified x-pack download url to download 5.4.1 version.
I have installed it now

root@deb0:/opt/sw/elasticsearch-5.4.1# bin/elasticsearch-plugin list
x-pack

Thanks
