I am trying to install Elasticsearch from the APT repositories as per [Elasticsearch Reference [7.4]](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/deb.html) and I am getting an error. See below for the commands issued. Are the Elastic APT repositories up at the moment because I am getting a "Not Found" from [https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/apt](https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/apt) ? ``` # wget -qO - https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | apt-key add - OK # apt-get install apt-transport-https Reading package lists...

The snippet does not show, that you ran `apt-get update` after adding the elastic APT repository. Can you do that and retry? ---
