Please format your code using `` icon. It will make your post more readable. Is your elasticsearch node running at 127.0.0.1:9200? A simple `curl 127.0.0.1:9200` should tell you that. ---

Download elasticsearch, unzip it and launch it. As you would do for a MySQL database. Read also [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup.html) ---

I don't know "plastic" and I believe your question is related to it here? You should ask this question to the plastic project, no? ---
