Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hello All,

I am trying to install elastic search 5.1.2 with a user login . I am facing following error :

" Failed to load settings from elasticsearch-5.1.2/config/elasticsearch.yml;
AccessDeniedException elasticsearch-5.1.2/config/elasticsearch.yml;
Likely root cause: java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: elasticsearch-5.1.2/config/elasticsearch.yml "

I tried changing the user permission , added the username in sudoers list and granted all permissions. It is throwing the same error.

Could you please help me to solve this issue.
