ElasticSearch not working on Ubuntu 16.04

Hello, I Installed ElasticSearch using DigitalOcean's guide on both my vultr and digitalocean droplets which both of them are giving errors

root@temp1hr:~# sudo service elasticsearch  status

and When I tried -
/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch

it throws this on me -

Check the Elasticsearch log, it should contain more info than the above service output.
