Hello,

I am trying to install and use the attachment plugin. The command plugin  
doesn't work for me so the documentation isn't working for me. I went to  
the correct version of the plugin and right clicked the download zip to get  
the url and then I used wget to get the zip file. Apparently I'm not  
downloading the right file because I'm not seeing in .JAR files and when I  
put it in the right folder elasticsearch doesn't recognize it. I the plugin  
installed in /usr/share/elasticsearch/plugins/mapper-attachment/.... when  
I run the command to see all the info about your node it shows plugins but  
the brackets are empty so its not picking up on the mapper attachment. I am  
running ubuntu server 14.04 with elasticsearch version 1.3.2 and mapper  
attachment 2.3.2.

I've tried every combination of plugin -u /file/path/ -i  
elasticsearch/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments  
and every time I try it, it just says plugin: command not found.

Thanks,  
Austin Harmon

plugin command should be in /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin according to the doc: [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-dir-layout.html#_deb_and_rpm) [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-dir-layout.html#\_deb\_and\_rpm](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-dir-layout.html#_deb_and_rpm)

Yes I found where the command is but when I go to use it: plugin -u  
file/path/ -i plugin it just says plugin: command not found.
