I am trying to run elasticsearch from my terminal and I'm getting this error:

I am running an ARM64 version of Ubuntu on an m2 mac, at first i thought that was the problem but it seems it's just some java class missing and I'm not sure what to do.

Hi @bawac Welcome to the community.
Couple more items...
Exactly what version of elasticsearch did you download? Kinda looks like perhaps you are trying to run the `x86` not the `aarch64` which are the ARM builds
`https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-8.6.2-linux-aarch64.tar.gz`
Exactly how did you install?
Exactly what command did you run?

Hey, that was exactly the problem. I downloaded the wrong thing and tried to run x86 instead of the arm version. After I downloaded the correct version, everything worked. Sorry for the poor question.
