Hi All,

I am looking for some info on how to install and create ES 8.7 cluster on RHEL 7 servers using tar.gz.

I am not able to find the steps in the documentation. Need to know how to make nodes join a cluster.

Need 3 Master eligible and 3 data nodes.

Please guide.

Thanks! I was able to install/ create a cluster. This documentation is a little confusing.
