Cant seem to install plugin with elasticsearch

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

HI ,

I am having issues with Elasticsearch-plugin command or maybe elasticsearch in general. I have tried countless ways and can't seem to find out the issue.

when I install the plugin ./elasticsearch-plugin install repository-s3 using the plugin manager the connection hangs and doesn't finish.

I also made sure http and https was open...still no results.

I also used the offline download using the file and I get this error:

-> Downloading file:/usr/share/elasticsearch/plugins/repository-s3-7-2.zip
[=================================================] 100%

I would appreciate some help.

The installation complains that the plugin-descriptor.properties file cannot be found. This means the plugin artefact (zip file) is corrupted or not correctly packaged. I suspect that you were not installing the plugin from the official repository.

This line shows that the plugin was installed from a local file instead of the official repo. You can either install from the official repo or download for offline installation as documented.

Hello @cctk

You might try to use Batch mode, like this: ./elasticsearch-plugin install --batch repository-s3

For more information you can click here , here and here

Let me know the result.

Hello @cctk ,

How are you?

I'm following up just to know if the information shared solved the issue.

Thanks,

I have not tried it properly yet however, I did try the --batch command already but nothing worked.

Did you get the same error after adding - - batch to the command?

sorted the issue. It was actually easier than I made it out to be.
ran the following.
./elasticsearch-plugins install https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch-plugins/repository-s3/repository-s3-7.14.0.zip

thank you
