Fail to install elasticsearch-8.2.0 on Ubuntu machine

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I downloaded the .tar.gz file on a Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS machine, and shasum output OK. After unzipping the file and running ./bin/elasticsearch, the following error happens:

[0.001s][warning][os,container] Duplicate cpuset controllers detected. Picking /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset, skipping /run/lxcfs/controllers/cpuset.
Error: Could not find or load main class [0.001s][warning][os,container]
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: [0/001s][warning][os,container]

What should I do?

Hi,

Since ES 8.0, Ubuntu 16.04 is no more supported,you have to upgrade the ubuntu or use a compatible version.

Welcome to our community! :smiley:

You should also really use the deb packages for Ubuntu. It contains a bunch more than just the product binaries, such as service files, standardised config and logging etc.

Same issue for elasticsearch-7.17.3, which supports Ubuntu-16.04 on this page.

5

I think I just need the binaries for developing. Do I have to install that? Also where can I download those deb packages.

6

For developing what?

Download Elasticsearch | Elastic is the download page for Elasticsearch.

7

I mean I have downloaded Elasticsearch. But I cannot set it up due to the above issue. Do I have to install the deb packages for Ubuntu as you mentioned?

8

You don't need to, no.

Is there more to your Elasticsearch logs?

Here is the logs/gc.log. I cannot find any other logs.

When you run the Elasticsearch binary it should output something to the shell.

Here is the output:
