I am new to Elasticsearch . I was told to install elasticsearch and other software like Kibab into linux machine on premise . Can anyone share your experience to install ? is it difficult ? Is it good idea to start docker version installation and testing ? Thanks

Welcome!

Yeah docker and docker compose is much easier.  
For docker, you can use start local which is helpful to start all with one line:

```auto
curl -fsSL https://elastic.co/start-local | sh

```

I suppose this is for local development only.

You can start from here:

> **[Install Elasticsearch from archive on Linux or MacOS | Elasticsearch Guide...](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/targz.html)**

And then:

> **[Install Kibana from archive on Linux or macOS | Kibana Guide \[8.17\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/targz.html)**
