Well you can use our [hosted Elasticsearch service on GCP](https://www.elastic.co/blog/announcing-the-ga-of-elastic-cloud-hosted-elasticsearch-on-google-cloud-platform-gcp) that now is also available natively via the Google Cloud Console ([https://www.elastic.co/blog/elastic-and-google-team-up-to-bring-a-more-native-elasticsearch-service-experience-on-google-cloud](https://www.elastic.co/blog/elastic-and-google-team-up-to-bring-a-more-native-elasticsearch-service-experience-on-google-cloud)).,

If you want to self-host then the installation instructions for the specific component and operating system (OS) would need to be followed ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack/current/installing-elastic-stack.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack/current/installing-elastic-stack.html)). We offer `.deb`, `.rpm` or directly the binary packages to uncompress and run, depending on your platform and how you would like to manage them.  
If you go down this route I would suggest to make sure you run on a tested and [officially supported](https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix) combination of OS, kernel, Java Virtual Machine, etc.

The quickest, easiest and most comfortable way would be via our Elasticsearch service as outlined above.  
Hope that helps!
