How to run elasticsearch when installed from source?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi, so I want to install Elasticsearch from archieve (Install Elasticsearch from archive on Linux or MacOS | Elasticsearch Guide [7.15] | Elastic). Why? Because I need to install them on custom path (by default Elasticsearch installed on /etc/Elasticsearch).

From the documentation,it is said that I just need to run this to start the service:

./bin/elasticsearch -d -p pid

But, I won't start on reboot, right? So, I create systemd service using reference from systemd service when we install from package.

[Unit]
Description=Elasticsearch
Documentation=https://www.elastic.co
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=notify
RuntimeDirectory=elasticsearch-7.15.0
PrivateTmp=true
Environment=ES_HOME=/mnt/elasticsearch-7.15.0
Environment=ES_PATH_CONF=/mnt/elasticsearch-7.15.0/
Environment=PID_DIR=/mnt/elasticsearch-7.15.0/var/run
Environment=ES_SD_NOTIFY=true

WorkingDirectory=/mnt/elasticsearch-7.15.0

User=deployer
Group=deployer

ExecStart=/mnt/elasticsearch-7.15.0/bin/systemd-entrypoint -p ${PID_DIR}/elasticsearch.pid --quiet

And create systemd-entrypoint script:

#!/bin/sh

# This wrapper script allows SystemD to feed a file containing a passphrase into
# the main Elasticsearch startup script

if [ -n "$ES_KEYSTORE_PASSPHRASE_FILE" ] ; then
  exec /mnt/elasticsearch-7.15.0/bin/elasticsearch "$@" < "$ES_KEYSTORE_PASSPHRASE_FILE"
else
  exec /mnt/elasticsearch-7.15.0/bin/elasticsearch "$@"
fi

But, when I run systemctl start Elasticsearch it won't start and get error:

elasticsearch.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=203/EXEC

Why that error mean? Or maybe any other idea? My goal is just to make sure my Elasticsearch service will run automatically after server reboot.

What do the Elasticsearch logs say?

The issue on my post has resolved after I modify my ExecStart to:

ExecStart=/bin/bash /mnt/elasticsearch-7.15.0/bin/systemd-entrypoint -p ${PID_DIR}/elasticsearch.pid --quiet

But I got another error:

-- Unit elasticsearch.service has begun starting up.

FYI, It run normally if i run using ./bin/elasticsearch -d -p pid

This error also fixed after modify my config path to the right path.
But, it still error:
