Hi there, I'm working on a project using a Raspberry Pi 4 and Ubuntu Core.  
I need to use Elasticsearch for my project, but I'm being blocked by the need to install Elasticsearch using Snap.  
I can't find any Elasticsearch snap package to install, so is there any other way to install it on Ubuntu Core? Or I have to switch to Ubuntu Server and install Elasticsearch in the traditional way using apt?

Hi, thanks for your answer!

The problem is that Ubuntu Core does not support deb packages and apt. The only way to install any application is using snap, so I was looking for a snap solution
