Hello everyone,

I try to install a plugin found on github which may solve some of my problems but i'm new on ELK and i'm unable to install this plugin :

> **[alcanzar/logstash-filter-memorize](https://github.com/alcanzar/logstash-filter-memorize)**
>
> logstash-filter-memorize - A logstash plugin to memorizer portions of the log file for use in later events

I have no internet connection on my ELK server so that's why I want to install this plugin offline.

I downloaded the .zip file and now i've got a : "logstash-filter-memorize-master.zip" archive. What am I supposed to do with it ?

I read some things about the plugin install but I'm still unable to install it -\_-

Can somebody help me .?

You can't just download a zip file from GitHub and install it. You either need to build a gem file from the plugin source code (or obtain a prebuilt gem file from e.g. [rubygems.org](http://rubygems.org)) or you can install a zip file created with `logstash-plugin prepare-offline-pack`.
