First start fails

HI,

I want to do my first steps to elk. I followed the installation guide lines, but on startup I get the following error:

org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.StartupException: ElasticsearchException[Failed to create native process factories for Machine Learning]; nested: FileNotFoundException[/tmp/elasticsearch-12865225761041882086/controller_log_3133 (file or directory not found)

I tried on a fresh centOS and openSuSE. On both I got this error, with different numbers.

Did I something wrong, or is it a bug?

I suggest to do my first experiments with docker ... it's usually simpler:

  1. docker pull docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.1.1
  2. docker run -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 -e "discovery.type=single-node" http://docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.1.1
  3. curl localhost:9200 should contain "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"

That's it

Welcome!

What version are you installing and how are you installing things?
