Thanks, hadn't seen these downloads. Now I should be able to drop the jars directly into the /usr/share/ elasticsearch/plugins dir, right (using the deb package)? If I add "plugin.mandatory: aws-cloud" to elasticsearch.yml, elasticsearch gets stuck at: [INFO][node] [Missing Link] {0.19.3}[11826]: initializing ... ---

From what I remember, you just need to place the unzipped contents in the plugins directory. You can also still use bin/plugin -install if you set the url to the filesystem. -- Ivan On Fri, May 18, 2012 at 4:21 PM, Eric Jain [eric.jain@gmail.com](mailto:eric.jain@gmail.com) wrote: > On May 18, 3:45 pm, Ivan Brusic [i...@brusic.com](mailto:i...@brusic.com) wrote: > > > Not sure what the issue is, but you can also find the downloads here:[https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-cloud-aws/downloads](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-cloud-aws/downloads) > > > > Try download the zip/gz and use a local install. > > Thanks, hadn't seen these downloads. > > Now I should be able to drop the jars directly into the /usr/share/ > elasticsearch/plugins dir, right (using the deb package)? > > If I add "plugin.mandatory: aws-cloud" to elasticsearch.yml, > elasticsearch gets stuck at: > > [INFO][node] [Missing Link] {0.19.3}[11826]: > initializing ... ---

This wasn't obvious from the error message... Also, the plugin name is "cloud-aws", not "aws-cloud". For manual installation, you need to unzip the plugin into a subdirectory (named after the plugin) of the plugins dir. ---
