Hello Guys.  
Pretty new to elasticsearch ...  
I following this tutorial to learn the basics: [Elasticsearch Reference - Exploring your data](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/_exploring_your_data.html).

I cannot load that document into elasticsearch.

I am using prompt command line and i thought that was the problem, so then i install git bash and didn´t work either,

On command line after i basically copy paste:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -XPOST "localhost:9200/bank/\_doc/\_bulk?pretty&refresh" --data-binary "@accounts.json"  
curl "localhost:9200/\_cat/indices?v"

This error shows up:

"error" : {  
"root\_cause" : [  
{  
"type" : "security\_exception",  
"reason" : "missing authentication token for REST request [/bank/\_doc/\_bulk?pretty&refresh]",  
"header" : {  
"WWW-Authenticate" : "Basic realm="security" charset="UTF-8""  
}  
}  
],  
"type" : "security\_exception",  
"reason" : "missing authentication token for REST request [/bank/\_doc/\_bulk?pretty&refresh]",  
"header" : {  
"WWW-Authenticate" : "Basic realm="security" charset="UTF-8""  
}  
},  
"status" : 401  
}

Sorry, my english sucks too 😃

You probably installed xpack which might have activated security.

So you need to use the login/password you set I believe.  
I'm moving your question to #x-pack
