I have newly installed the Elasticsearch-7.4.2-x86\_64.rpm with rmp from the link
> **[Install Elasticsearch with RPM | Elasticsearch Guide \[7.6\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.6/rpm.html)**
But when i start the service it gives the below error .
**sudo systemctl start elasticsearch.service**

Welcome to our community! 😃
Please check the Elasticsearch logs for more information, you can use `journalctl -u elasticsearch.service` for that, or look at the log file in `/var/log/elasticsearch/.
Please also format your code/logs/config using the `` button, or markdown style back ticks. It helps to make things easy to read which helps us help you 🙂
