Hi,  
I did an offline installation of elastic search 6.5 on Linux (redhat) it works good, as a next step when I tried to install phonetic (analysis-phonetic) I tried all possible ways I get error

I followed the below command from the documentation

sudo bin/elasticsearch-plugin install file:////opt/elasticsearch-6.5.0/analysis-phonetic-6.5.4.zip

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException : Plugin [analysis-phonetic] was built for Elasticsearch version 6.5.4 but version 6.5.0 is running  
at org.elasticsearch.plugins.PluginsService.verifyCompatibility (PluginsService.java:339)  
at ....  
....

I also tried with analysis-phonetic-6.4.3.zip but the outcome is exactly the same. Have anyone tried the phonetics if so please share ....

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks  
Anand

You must use the exact same version for the plugin as the server.
