Hi,
I haven't installed ES but I run from the extracted directory. Now I ma facing problem while installing curator.
When I perform [this step](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/curator/current/python-source.html#_elasticsearch_curator_python_module)
it gives me error in installation and keep on searching ES version. because its not installed it failes.
How to go ahead with this?
br,
Sunil.

`pip` is supposed to handle this, but something changed, and it doesn't seem to handle it properly for source installs anymore. I will fix it in a future version.
It's _not_ looking for Elasticsearch, the search engine. It's looking for `elasticsearch-py`, the Python module. Try running `pip install -U elasticsearch==5.5.2` and then try setup again.
Other modules you may have to install first include:
```auto
voluptuous>=0.9.3
click>=6.7
pyyaml>=3.10
certifi>=2018.1.18
```
