Actually when I said > Much better. I was wrong. You are using the citation icon instead of ``. So please fix the format. It should be like: ```auto bsaitechnosales@storage:~/Downloads$ sudo /etc/init.d/elasticsearch start Starting elasticsearch: /etc/init.d/elasticsearch: line 108: daemon: command not found bsaitechnosales@storage:~/Downloads$ sudo service elasticsearch status ● elasticsearch.service - Elasticsearch Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/elasticsearch.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2018-01-11 16:59:06 +0545; 8s ago Docs: http://www.elastic.co Process: 28630 ExecStart=/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch -p ${PID_DIR}/elasticsearch.pid --quiet (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 28630 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Jan 11 16:59:06 storage systemd[1]: Started Elasticsearch.

This is important indeed: > `line 70: /etc/sysconfig/elasticsearch: Permission denied` It indicates that this file can not be read by elasticsearch. Which probably means that you did not clean all the existing files before reinstalling. I'd probably check the rights for this file. ---

lets do from start. I have uninstall elasticsearch in following way. Now let's start in a clean way. Please suggest me the steps for installing elasticsearch. This time i would like to follow your instructions (1) Remove previous versions of ElasticSearch: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove elasticsearch (2) Remove the ElasticSearch directories: sudo rm -rf /var/lib/elasticsearch/ sudo rm -rf /etc/elasticsearch sudo rm -rf /opt/sonar/elasticsearch sudo rm -rf /usr/share/elasticsearch/ (3) Search and Remove bsaitechnosales@storage:~$ sudo find / "elasticsearch" | grep "elasticsearch" /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/elasticsearch.service /root/Downloads/elasticsearch-6.1.1.rpm /root/Downloads/elasticsearch-2.3.1.deb /home/bsaitechnosales/Downloads/elasticsearch-6.1.1.rpm /tmp/hsperfdata\_elasticsearch find: ‘/run/user/1000/gvfs’: Permission denied /opt/sonar/lib/common/elasticsearch-rest-client-5.6.3.jar /opt/sonar/lib/common/elasticsearch-5.6.3.jar /opt/gitlab/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/peek-1.0.1/lib/peek/adapters/elasticsearch.rb find: ‘elasticsearch’: No such file or directory bsaitechnosales@storage:~$ sudo rm -rf /tmp/hsperfdata\_elasticsearch bsaitechnosales@storage:~$ sudo rm -rf etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/elasticsearch\* ---

Yes. But it happens that people are sleeping or doing other stuff. Read [this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) and specifically the "Also be patient" part. Again, please format your code. I can see by chance that Sonar is supposed to use a 5.6 version but you are trying to install a 6.1 version. There is a chance that this is not going to work. Anyway, to install elasticsearch, please follow the guide @warkolm linked to previously. ---

Once again would like to confirm first and then only i trigger the command. I will be following below steps for elasticsearch installation steps. Please guide me **The below steps is taken from this url --\> [Install Elasticsearch with Debian Package | Elasticsearch Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/deb.html)** > [@](#): > > **Download and install the Debian package manually** > edit > > The Debian package for Elasticsearch v6.1.1 can be downloaded from the website and installed as follows: > > wget [https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-6.1.1.deb](https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-6.1.1.deb) > wget [https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-6.1.1.deb.sha512](https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-6.1.1.deb.sha512) > shasum -a 512 -c elasticsearch-6.1.1.deb.sha512 > sudo dpkg -i elasticsearch-6.1.1.deb **Also i have uninstall SONARQUBE as well** > [@](#): > > root@storage:/home/bsaitechnosales# sudo find / "sonar" | grep "sonar" | morefind: ‘/run/user/1000/gvfs’: Permission denied > find: ‘sonar’: No such file or directory > /etc/init.d/sonar > /etc/rc3.d/S02sonar > /root/Downloads/sonar-scanner-msbuild-4.0.2.892.zip > /root/Downloads/sonarqube-6.7.1.zip > /home/bsaitechnosales/Downloads/sonar\_qube\_installation\_steps > /home/bsaitechnosales/Downloads/sonar-intellij-plugin-2.2.0.zip > /home/bsaitechnosales/Downloads/sonar-runner-dist-2.4.zip > /home/bsaitechnosales/sonar\_qube\_installation\_steps > root@storage:/home/bsaitechnosales# Now would like to follow your footsteps for both eleasticsearch and sonarqube.

I can't tell for sonarqube and as I said at the beginning you should ask in sonarqube forums about this. I just noted that IMO it's useless to install elasticsearch 6.x as Sonarqube seems to expect a version 5.x. But I imagine that sonarqube installation guide mentions that. Then, if you install elasticsearch and follow the exact steps that you linked to, it should be fine. If not, please copy and paste here all the steps you did and the output of each command. ---
