Hello everyone!

I want to install watcher in elasticsearch 6.7.0 following this url: [Download Watcher | Alerting for Elasticsearch](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/watcher)

Firstly: I move to /usr/share/elasticsearch  
The second: I use this command to install license and watcher  
bin/elasticsearch-plugin install watcher

And I get this error:

> ERROR: Unknown plugin watcher

How can I fix it? Thanks!

You don't have to. It's part of the default distribution now.

Probably because you don't have the license for it.  
You need to activate the trial if you want to test it.
