I downloaded elasticsearch head and trying to install it from the local dir. I see following files: [ec2-user@ip-10-80-140-105 es]$ ls -ltr elasticsearch-head-master total 40 drwx------ 3 ec2-user ec2-user 4096 Nov 8 12:34 test drwx------ 4 ec2-user ec2-user 4096 Nov 8 12:34 src -rw------- 1 ec2-user ec2-user 3843 Nov 8 12:34 README.textile -rw------- 1 ec2-user ec2-user 735 Nov 8 12:34 package.json -rw------- 1 ec2-user ec2-user 559 Nov 8 12:34 LICENCE -rw------- 1 ec2-user ec2-user 1025 Nov 8 12:34 index.html -rw------- 1 ec2-user ec2-user 4440 Nov 8 12:34 Gruntfile.js -rw------- 1 ec2-user ec2-user 103 Nov 8 12:34 elasticsearch-head.sublime-project drwx------ 4 ec2-user ec2-user 4096 Nov 8 12:34 dist [ec2-user@ip-10-80-140-105 es]$ ls -ltr elasticsearch-head-master/dist/ Is there a way I can install it locally? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Just point your browser to the index.html file. I run it this way so that I can avoid the plug-in reinstall whenever I reinstall ES or upgrade ES. Hope this helps!

Yes you can. You can download the zip file and run the following: bin/plugin -u file:///your/zip/file/path -i mobz/elasticsearch-head (OR) You can unzip and move it to the plugins/{PLUGIN\_NAME}/\_site directory.
