Could not find or load main class

Ayoub_Benzouine · May 11, 2017, 8:30am

I am trying to install Elasticsearch 2.2.0 and I am getting this errors:
./elasticsearch: line 75: dirname: command not found
./elasticsearch: line 98: dirname: command not found
./elasticsearch: line 125: uname: command not found
./elasticsearch: line 134: hostname: command not found
./elasticsearch: line 134: cut: command not found
./elasticsearch: line 138: egrep: command not found
Error: Could not find or load main class org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch

I found that there was a similar topic and the problem was in the Java version. I have jdk1.8.0_60.jdk, jdk1.8.0_131.jdk and jdk1.6.0.jdk, so I checked my Java path in case it might be pointing on the 1.6 version but actually it is not:

macs-MacBook-Pro-2:bin mac$ echo $JAVA_HOME
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_131.jdk/Contents/Home

I even removed the 1.6 version but I'm still getting the same error.

Thank you in advance for your help.

What did you download exactly?

Sounds like you are running on a Mac, right?

Should be pretty much straightforward:

Download the tar.gz
tar xzf thefile
cd thedir
bin/elasticsearch

Are you doing any other step you did not mention yet?

I am still getting errors:

  Elasticsearch requires at least Java 8 but your Java version from /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_131.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java does not meet this requirement
 controller:bin mac$

I downloaded it from https://www.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch

Even the "tar" command didn't work so I had to open the file using Archive Utility.

I am thinking maybe there is something wrong in the ".bash_profile" file. Can you please show me an example of how it looks like by default?

Probably you screwed up your path if you modified it.

Ayoub_Benzouine · May 12, 2017, 8:03am

I was pointing in my ES_HOME path on another version of Elasticsearch that I don't have anymore. I have just modified the path. But still getting errors:

It is working now. I reset my ".bash_profile" file. As I was thinking it was because of it.
