Hi there, I've just installed Curator 5.6 and nothing seems to be working, I've checked /opt/elasticsearch-curator and /usr/bin/curator and thcurator and curator\_cli files are present, but even running just > curator --help Doesn't give me any help options. Is Curator 5.6 compatible with Elasticsearch 7.0 as I'm running on 7.0 [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/curator/current/version-compatibility.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/curator/current/version-compatibility.html) Only mentions up to version 6.x If it's not supported, whats the best way to manage backups and retention of data? Any pointers? Thanks ---

You can install the master branch, which supports 7.0, otherwise you'll have to wait a bit longer before official support is released. See [here](https://github.com/elastic/curator/pull/1371) for more information. ---

Thanks Aaron, got it working now after installing the master branch using pip install as opposed to yum. ---

Thanks @theuntergeek for all your work on this package. Do you have an estimation of the time of when the official support will be there for 7.0.0? (weeks? months?) Thanks! ---

It’s out already. The 5.7 branch fully supports Elasticsearch 7.x. It’s fully documented, and all RPM/DEB packages are in their respective repositories. ---
