I feel like it is a waste of time to deal with Debian packages,  
can anyone tell me how I can set up logstash with Debian packages?

I followed the instruction on elastic website, how can i access to logstash conf file how can i do that.

```auto
ubuntu@ip-1xx-xx-x-x:~/ELK$ ls
elasticsearch-7.5.2-amd64.deb kibana-7.5.2-amd64.deb logstash-7.5.2.deb
ubuntu@ip-1xx-xx-x-x:~/ELK$ cd logstash-7.5.2.deb
-bash: cd: logstash-7.5.2.deb: Not a directory

```

It looks like you have downloaded the packages directly, rather than using the repos, as per [the docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/installing-logstash.html#package-repositories). In that case you will need to run `sudo dpkg -i logstash-7.5.2.deb` to install it.
