While installing elaticsearch 6.7 and above I am getting this error:
sudo systemctl start elasticsearch.service
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/jre/bin/java/bin/java

Also When I try to start elasticsearch it gives an error

As of Elasticsearch 7, we include a bundled JDK. You can specify your own JDK via JAVA_HOME, but that doesn't seem to work. Try unsetting the JAVA_HOME environment variable - in my CentOS system it was found in /etc/environment aside from the usual culprits.
