Hello, When I installed LogStash 2.2.2 (in Program Files folder), I got the following error messages: * * * bin/plugin install logstash-input-beats ## Unable to download data from [https://rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org) - SocketError: initialize: name or service not know ([https://rubygems.org/latest\_specs.4.8.gz](https://rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz)) My PROD server is not connected to Internet; so any new installation must be done manually. So, do you know what did I do wrong? Edison ---

Without internet you will need to do offline install of plugins, or grab the All Plugins release of LS. Take a read through [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/offline-plugins.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/offline-plugins.html) ---

Good morning Mark, I read through the page as provided by you. Unfortunately, here is a Windows shop and I therefore cannot create my own private Rubygems server which is UNIX based. If I download all the LogStash 2.2.0 plugins (in ZIP format) from the site, [https://www.elastic.co/downloads/logstash](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/logstash), and unzip it in C:\Program Files\LogStash, can I just run the follow command to install them: ./bin/plugin –local logstash-input-beats Thank you in advance, Edison ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/f/f464dd1c7c382c015b3fc53eebe1cd1aadffee61.jpg) ---

If you get the all plugins version, all the plugins are included, so you don't need to install anything. ---

Thanks Mark. How do I make LogStash to run as a Windows Service? Edison ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/f/f464dd1c7c382c015b3fc53eebe1cd1aadffee61.jpg) ---

I dunno about that sorry, I am sure there are places on the net that can guide you better than I can. ---
