From which url did you download the distribution ? ---

From [https://www.elastic.co/downloads/past-releases/elasticsearch-6-7-2](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/past-releases/elasticsearch-6-7-2) I used the [MACOS/LINUX](https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-6.7.2.tar.gz) link. ---

I just tried this version locally and everything is ok on my side. I'm super surprised by this part: ```auto $ ./bin/elasticsearch java.security.policy: error adding Entry: java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: ${codebase.netty-common} java.security.policy: error adding Entry: java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: ${codebase.netty-transport} java.security.policy: error adding Entry: ... java.security.policy: error adding Entry: java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: ${codebase.lucene-misc} java.security.policy: error adding Entry: java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: ${codebase.plugin-classloader} ``` Wondering if you changed anything else. ---
