Redhat uses RPM right? Is there anything wrong with the documentation?

Please don't post pictures of text, it makes it difficult to read. Are you root when running that command, cause you need to be. Run those other two commands as it suggests and see what is reported. ---

HI Lavanya, I think you disable the Elasticsearch service Please enable it by giving below command. systemctl enable elasticsearch.service ---

It's clear from the picture (sh$) that the first time service elasticsearch start was run, it was not as the root user and not with sudo. I could imagine that's why systemctl threw the error message. ---
