Install/Uninstall issues with ElasticSearch - unable to startup

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

Hope you can help!

I am not able to startup the ES in the terminal. Previously installed ES
and was working fine. However, it cannot start up now. Here's the error
returned:

Stephanies-MacBook-Pro:elasticsearch stephanielew$ bin/elasticsearch -f
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not
initialize class org.elasticsearch.Version
at
org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Bootstrap.buildErrorMessage(Bootstrap.java:252)
at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:236)
at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.ElasticSearch.main(ElasticSearch.java:32)

  • Am using MacBook OS Version 10.8.5.
  • Java Version 1.6.0_65

Previous actions:

  • Was using ES Java Api in Maven web project in Netbeans. It was able to
    connect to ES server automatically via Apache Tomcat when the web
    application was run. However, after installing some external jars the ES
    server did not start up.
  • Also, tried to run ES in the terminal separately, but it still could not
    start up.

Despite several attempts to delete some old directories and installing the
latest version, the above error was returned.

Is there some permanent system/environment variables that should be changed
in my computer configurations? Or how can i cleanly remove all
elasticsearch related folders? Any uninstall command?

Sounds like you're trying to start it from the cloned git repo, rather than
first building it.

See the README for details of how to build it
