I have tried to create 3 nodes in my ES for "production", "development", "testing" using command:  
`bin/elasticsearch -Epath.data=data1 -Epath.logs=log1`  
My elasticsearch.yml file located at _admin:///etc/elasticsearch_ and getting error as:  
`bash: bin/elasticsearch: No such file or directory`

Besides, I also tried modifying elasticsearch.yml file following StackOverflow answers but failed.

1. [How to add a new node to my Elasticsearch cluster](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35717790/how-to-add-a-new-node-to-my-elasticsearch-cluster)
2. [Multiple nodes in ElasticSearch](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13477303/multiple-nodes-in-elasticsearch)

But I can not create separate nodes. My purpose is to test my application separately so that it doesn't affect the main node.  
Here are respentive lines of my elasticsearch.yml file:

> cluster.name : scidatamanager  
> node.name : "dev"  
> node.name : "test"  
> node.master: true  
> node.data: false  
> http.port: 9200  
> discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false  
> discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["127.0.0.1"]

> cluster.name : scidatamanager  
> node.name : "test"  
> node.master: false  
> node.data: true  
> http.port: 9201

> discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["127.0.0.2"]

> path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch  
> path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch
