Hello @pge,

To do an offline installation of the plugin you have to give the complete path to the file.

Something like this:

bin/elasticsearch-plugin install file:///path/to/plugin.zip

From your messages, I think it will be the following:

bin/elasticsearch-plugin install file:///usr/share/elasticsearch/ingest-geoip-6.3.0.zip

Hi @pierhugues,
Thanks a lot!
I have added the file:// to the command line and now the installation process start.

What I cannot understand is why I have a security warning. I have checked the link to the Oracle site and seems that I have to add a permission role to the plugin (I´have launched the command as root)....

cd /usr/share/elasticsearch
bin/elasticsearch-plugin install -v file:///tmp/ingest-geoip-6.3.0.zip

-> Downloading file:///tmp/ingest-geoip-6.3.0.zip

@pge We sandbox what elasticsearch can do when we start it, some plugins requires more permissions that what elasticsearch support, using 'y' will make elasticsearch add theses permissions.
