I am trying to migrate from elasticsearch 1.4 to elasticsearch 5.0. So Ive used the migration tool to migrate first to 2.x but the migration tool doesnt get installed. I ve used the following command to install :  
.\bin\plugin -i migration -u [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-migration/releases/download/v1.19/elasticsearch-migration-1.19.zip](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-migration/releases/download/v1.19/elasticsearch-migration-1.19.zip)

But it throws me an exception like this : `elasticsearch migration tool 1.x failed : Socket timeout exception. failed to download out of all the possible connections` . I have also attached the screenshot for the error . Please advice !

It looks like it cannot connect to github to get the file. Can you download it manually?

yes i can download it manually. But i cant run it in the server browser. It has firewall . so browsing is not allowed in the server. Is there any other way to install the tool ?
