Download it from [https://fscrawler.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html](https://fscrawler.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html) Prefer the latest snapshot. It's more advanced and "stable". ---

Please don't post images of text as they are hard to read, may not display correctly for everyone, and are not searchable. Instead, paste the text and format it with `` icon or pairs of triple backticks (```), and check the preview window to make sure it's properly formatted before posting it. This makes it more likely that your question will receive a useful answer. It would be great if you could update your post to solve this. ---

You need to use the v6 version as you are using elasticsearch 6.8. From here: [https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/fr/pilato/elasticsearch/crawler/fscrawler-es6/2.7-SNAPSHOT/](https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/fr/pilato/elasticsearch/crawler/fscrawler-es6/2.7-SNAPSHOT/) ---
