Go here [Installing Logstash | Logstash Reference [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/installing-logstash.html)

- You can try to run the logstash binary first.
- If you want to use the RPM, please note that the repositories do not work with older rpm based distributions that still use RPM v3, like CentOS5.
