@Aadil672 try changing the ownership of the file by using the command "chown"

sudo su

Here's what you need to do, at a high level:

  • Decide which user (not root) is going to run your Elasticsearch process. It looks like you are using aadil
  • Make sure all the necessary files are owned by that user
  • Run the process as that user

To do this, in your case:

  1. login as aadil
  2. cd Downloads/elasticsearch-6.6.0/
  3. sudo chown -R aadil .
  4. ./bin/elasticsearch

Hi TimV,
Hope you are doing well!

Thanks a lot for your effort, It worked for me, I am able to run **elasticsearch (./bin/elasticsearch) **server.
but again I got an error (node js incompatibility) while trying to run kibana (./bin/kibana). Could you please help me to get back to older version of Node js in RedHat 7.5 ?

Thanks in advance!

[aadil@oc4733723867 Elastic_Stack]$ cd kibana-6.6.0-linux-x86_64/

[aadil@oc4733723867 kibana-6.6.0-linux-x86_64]$ ls

[aadil@oc4733723867 kibana-6.6.0-linux-x86_64]$ ./bin/kibana

Kibana does not support the current Node.js version v11.9.0. Please use Node.js v10.14.1.

[aadil@oc4733723867 kibana-6.6.0-linux-x86_64]$

Thanks,
