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:

login as aadil
cd Downloads/elasticsearch-6.6.0/
sudo chown -R aadil .
./bin/elasticsearch

Aadil672 · February 17, 2019, 2:40pm

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!

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