Hello everyone,
I am installing elasticsearch in ubuntu, but when I follow the steep to run elasticsearch, this happens:
I enter this cmd:
/usr/share/elasticsearch$ ./bin/elasticsearch
I get this error:
./bin/elasticsearch-env: line 70: /etc/default/elasticsearch: Permission denied
but when I use sudo this happens: /usr/share/elasticsearch$ sudo ./bin/elasticsearch
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: Option UseConcMarkSweepGC was deprecated in version 9.0 and will likely be removed in a future release.
