Since Elastic moves so fast with its version updates, I was hoping to just skip over ES6 as I have to start getting ready for next fall.

I see the Master documents have been updated with 7.0 alpha details

> **[Installation | Elasticsearch Guide \[master\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/_installation.html)**

but when I try to grab the binary documented

> curl -L -O [https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-7.0.0-alpha1.tar.gz](https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-7.0.0-alpha1.tar.gz)

it does not exist.

Any idea when 7.0-alpha will be available? I would rather skip versions then temporarily do things on 6.1

7.0 alpha will not be available for some time, but you can find daily snapshots here:
