Hi I wanted install ES at my os, but I got an error “could not find java in JAVA\_HOME or bundled at /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.212.b04-0.el7\_6.x86\_64//bin/java”. I have set my JAVA\_HOME env variable and create a new user and group. Pls give me some ideas.

How did you installed ES? What do you have JAVA\_HOME set to?
