Hello,

One of the training in the documentation is bulk upload a Json file named account to the elasticsearch.

im running this command as written

curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/bank/account/\_bulk?pretty&refresh' --data-binary "@accounts.json"

and im always get curl error saying "curl: (6) Could not resolve host: 'localhost"

anyone knows why?

thanks
