Installing elasticsearch on red hat linux - error command not found

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi all,

I'm installing elasticsearch version 1.0.1 on red hat linux.
I have placed elastic search in directory /opt so the path till bin looks
like /opt/elasticsearch-1.0.1/bin
when I'm trying to start elasticsearch as
$ bin/elasticsearch -f
I get error message elasticsearch: command not found
Tried changing the permission on elasticsearch file, after that the error
changed to bin/elasticsearch: line 116: syntax error: unexpected end of file
I also tried using the service wrapper but facing the same issue

JAVA_HOME and ES_HOME env variables are properly set

could anyone help?

How did you install Elasticsearch? Did you use a download [1] or some other
binary distribution such as RPM?

If by chance, you simply cloned the Github repository, that is not the
correct way to install Elasticsearch. Use a downloadable version instead.

Use the rpm, not the zip/tar.gz.

Otherwise run /opt/elasticsearch-1.0.1/bin/elasticsearch -f

Maybe you installed and unpacked the zip in an uncommon way, and the result
has Windows line feeds and/or wrong permissions?

Use tar.gz on RHEL. It works here. Also service wrapper, it works
flawlessly.

Do not forget to install Oracle 7 Java.

If you have copied the files from windows to linux and then executing ES.
Then try dos2unix elasticseacrh and then run ES
