When i use this `wget -qO - https://packages.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | sudo apt-key add -` It says `gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found` I found some old text but it don't help me well. Can somebody explain me. ---

In [this thread](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/pgp-keys-fails-to-install-no-valid-openpgp-data-found/32710), a user solved the problem by running the command separately. Perhaps try that? ---

You probably should run `sudo apt-key add GPG-KEY-elasticsearch` (where `GPG-KEY-elasticsearch` is a filename of downloaded key) instead of `apt-key add -`. ---

Nope, don't do that. It adds a `deb-src` value that won't work. See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.3/setup-repositories.html#\_apt](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.3/setup-repositories.html#_apt) ---
