Hi, I'm currently using Powershell to install Elastic Search and Kibana as my command prompt is not working. I'm unable to install by running ".\elasticsearch.bat" on powershell. Can anyone assist with my issue?
Hi @kottak01 Welcome to the community.
Hopefully you're following our official documents carefully line by line.
It is very important that you execute the commands from the correct directories.
If so, you'll notice the command is run from the home directory not inside the bin directory.
.\bin\elasticsearch.bat
Also, if you want help, you should always
Show us exactly what command you executed and show us the result of the command. We can't help without that kind of information.
Please don't post images of text. Please take the time to cut and paste the text.
I would clean up the directory and unzip again and try again.
Go into the bin directory and show a directory listing
Hi Stephen,
I've deleted the directory and unzipped again.
Here are the list of contents in the bin directory below
PS C:\Program Files\elasticsearch-8.12.2\bin> ls

Hi Stephen, I've managed to install Elasticsearch using docker. Thanks for your help and patience. You can close this issue

Excellent.
We don't close issues, they just age out.
You can install ES directly on Windows, no need for Docker, just use different command:
.\elasticsearch-service.bat install Elasticsearch
If you want to change the service params:
.\elasticsearch-service.bat manager Elasticsearch
If you have permission issues, start PS with admin privileges.
The .\elasticsearch.bat command is used to start ES as a process.
