Installed Elasticsearch verson 6 this morning, that part went well. The next step in the tutorial I am following says to install Marvel, that's not going so well. On the official "Getting Started with Marvel" it says to run this command:
bin/plugin install license
This results in this error message:
'bin' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
So I try this:
bin\plugin install license
And now I get this error message:
'bin\plugin' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Then I start to poke around and see that there is no plugin.bat in the bin folder, but there is elasticsearch-plugin.bat, so I tried to use that, like this:
elasticsearch-plugin install license
## and I get this error message: commands
list - Lists installed elasticsearch plugins
install - Install a plugin
remove - removes a plugin from Elasticsearch
Non-option arguments:
command
Option Description
* * *
-h, --help show help
-s, --silent show minimal output
-v, --verbose show verbose output
ERROR: Unknown plugin license
Is Marvel actually a real thing? Is it possible to install on Windows 10 with the standard command prompt? Are there instructions anywhere that actually show the real steps that it takes to install Marvel, or is this based purely on tribal knowledge?

You must be using an old tutorial. Marvel is no longer a separate plugin. The functionality is now part of X-Pack.
