I tried the same. I have root access. I get the following error:  
-bash: bin/plugin: cannot execute binary file  
Elasticsearch is running fine. Please see the attached screenshot. What am I doing wrong here?

You probably did not install correctly elasticsearch. `bin/plugin` should have executable rights.  
Note that's probably a bad idea to run it as root.  
Also, you have different users here `eubcdft` and `elasticsearch`.

BTW, please open a new thread instead of commenting on a very old one. You can link to the old thread though.  
Also, please avoid screen captures and prefer copying text and use `</>` icon to format it.
