I'm trying to install a plugin from zip file in this way:

```
michele@michele-Inspiron-5570:/usr/share/elasticsearch$ sudo bin/elasticsearch-plugin install file:///home/michele/Scaricati/ingest-attachment-6.5.0.zip
[sudo] password di michele: 
-> Downloading file:///home/michele/Scaricati/ingest-attachment-6.5.0.zip

```

I have seen that this issue is often related with a mismatching version between plugin and server , but It seems not:

```
michele@michele-Inspiron-5570:/usr/share/tesseract-ocr$ curl -XGET 'localhost:9200'
{
  "name" : "ING8Rxm",
  "cluster_name" : "elasticsearch",
  "cluster_uuid" : "QuOBj5pMRcGqqcWV57NOgA",
  "version" : {
    "number" : "6.5.0",
    "build_flavor" : "default",
    "build_type" : "deb",
    "build_hash" : "816e6f6",
    "build_date" : "2018-11-09T18:58:36.352602Z",
    "build_snapshot" : false,
    "lucene_version" : "7.5.0",
    "minimum_wire_compatibility_version" : "5.6.0",
    "minimum_index_compatibility_version" : "5.0.0"
  },
  "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

```

What could I try now?  
Thanks in advance
