Hi @Abdiqani_Mohamed Welcome to the community.

First please do not post images of text they are hard to read, search and debug.

If you would like help you are going to need to share more

What version did you install?

What method did you install?

Did you follow [the official documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/deb.html)?

Did you make edits to the elasticsearch.yml?

You will need to check the logs / journal?

Did you follow our documentation

You can look at the journal files

> **[Install Elasticsearch with Debian Package | Elasticsearch Guide \[8.16\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/deb.html#deb-running-systemd)**

`sudo journalctl --unit elasticsearch`

and check the logs in /var/log/elasticsearch

Please provide some additional information and perhaps we can help.
