Looks like it's working! What you're seeing is that Internet Explorer does not open/show JSON unfortunately like many other browsers do. Elasticsearch operates in JSON. [You can change the Internet Explorer behavior if you like](https://www.codeproject.com/Tips/216175/View-JSON-in-Internet-Explorer), but the fact that localhost:9200 returned a JSON file means things are probably working fine. You can also do [Invoke-RestMethod](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/reference/5.1/microsoft.powershell.utility/invoke-restmethod) from PowerShell ---

OK, I opened this with Chrome and it works, but the complete link that I mentioned looks like this: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/3/1/31663c35a79e994a539cd921a9c80c4985d37f01.JPG) there is username and password, so my question is, how can I login with these parameters and where? I didn't install any other software, maybe I need sth to install? ---

I don't understand your question. If you installed X-Pack, there will be a default username/password installed (set to `elastic` and `changeme` respectively, as the installer says). Then if you open [http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200) in Chrome, Chrome should ask you for a username/password and you enter those in ---

Now I think I understood, username/password is needed to X-Pack, I haven't installed X-Pack, only elasticsearch. So, I install again elasticsearch with X-Pack and use username/password to log in. Your answer enlighted me, thanks. ---
