Hi,

I have been working on setting up the basic security for elastic and kibana, but when I follow [this guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.16/security-minimal-setup.html#security-create-builtin-users). When I run the "Elasticsearch-setup-passwords" command. I am receiving the following error - "could not find java in bundled JDK at /opt/bitnami/Elasticsearch/jdk/bin/java" with sudo.

I looked around at the different environment variable changes for ES\_JAVA\_HOME, JAVA\_HOME, and LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH. With no luck when changing those to the java path.

Any help would be great. Thanks.

Hi @Bryan_Kribbs ,

What is the contents of the jdk dir at the /opt/bitnami/Elasticsearch path?  
Does the ES process start with ./bin/Elasticsearch ?

Elasticsearch ships with a jvm in these later versions, and the `elasticsearch-setup-passwords` script looks to use the JVM from the instalation, unless the `ES_JAVA_HOME` variable is set.

Is this a `.tar` or a package `.deb`/`.rpm` instalation? Can you share more details on the env so that we can try to reproduce this?
