Hello,

I cloned git repo like this:

git clone [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.git](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.git)

I tried to run elasticsearch in foreground but got:

$ cd elasticsearch/bin  
$ ./elasticsearch -f  
./elasticsearch: 3: ./elasticsearch.in.sh: Bad substitution

Did I do something wrong or is it a bug?

Best Regards,  
Adam

Please download the official package from download page and not source code.

If you want to build es yourself, run mvn install.
