Hello!
Im trying to delet indices with Curator and get this error:
```
root@elk:~# /usr/bin/curator --config /etc/curator/config.yml /etc/curator/action.yml
2019-02-28 07:45:21,553 INFO Preparing Action ID: 1, "close"

'Error: {0}'.format(e)
elasticsearch.exceptions.ElasticsearchException: Unable to create client connection to Elasticsearch. Error: Elasticsearch version 6.6.1 incompatible with this vers ion of Curator (5.2.0)
```
At first i've installed Curator with commands:
> yum install elasticsearch-curator
> apt update && apt install elasticsearch-curator
After the first error I've tried to updated Curator with:
> pip install -U elasticsearch-curator
Now if i use curator --version, it show version 5.6.0. But i still got same error.
What am i doing wrong?

Think im fixed it
At first i deleted old version with **sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove elasticsearch-curator**
And now i got this output
```
