Welcome! Did you follow the instructions in the guide? See for example [Install Elasticsearch with .zip on Windows | Elasticsearch Guide [8.1] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/zip-windows.html) If you did, which step does not work for you? ---

So the documentation is [Install Elasticsearch with Debian Package | Elasticsearch Guide [8.1] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/deb.html) Which step did you run which fails? I don't see in the guide where you have to modify the `elasticsearch.yml` file. So what did you modify and why? Please share here the full logs and the full config file. Formatted with `` icon or using markdown. Thanks. ---
