Hello

I just downloaded the elastic : elasticsearch-6.5.4.zip

I unzip the files and launch elastic with the command : `bin\elasticsearch.bat`  
I'm on Windows 10 64bits

When I launch the following command for my first indexing :  
curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/twitter/\_doc/1?pretty](http://localhost:9200/twitter/_doc/1?pretty)' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '  
{  
"user": "kimchy",  
"post\_date": "2009-11-15T13:12:00",  
"message": "Trying out Elasticsearch, so far so good?"  
}'

I have an error message as you can see on my screeshot :

 ![4%20protocol%20http%20not%20supported%20or%20disabled%20in%20libcurl](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/e/2e2b161ca7df3e69ebe360c9fd1ec6058e0f142f.png)

Thanks very much for your assistance

Maurice

Please don't post images of text as they are hardly readable and not searchable.

Instead paste the text and format it with `</>` icon. Check the preview window.

curl on windows is a pain.  
I would highly recommend starting Kibana which has a developer console.

Thanks for your assistance @dadoonet

I have the impression that kibana is not in the file elasticsearch-6.5.4.zip I downloaded.  
I will install kibana an check

Can anyone suggest an alternative to windows cmd?

Thanks

See [https://www.elastic.co/downloads/kibana](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/kibana) to download Kibana.

BTW you should better start with 7.1.0.
