Hello,

I'm trying to install keystore using the following command:

> bin/logstash-keystore create

and I get this error:

> bin/logstash-keystore: No such file or directory

I'm in my logstash directory and don't understand why this command isn't working. The bin directory is right there.

This is the guide I am using:

> **[Secrets keystore for secure settings | Logstash Reference \[6.3\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/6.3/keystore.html)**

What is the OS you use?

If it is Linux, you can go to the path /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash-keystore/

Yeah, I'm using Linux but that path does not exist.  
there's not logstash-keystore in bin.
