Hi and thanks for reading. Primarily, sorry about my poor english, i'm from Argentina, so.. hi from Argentina. I have read a few tutorials about how to install ELK. Recently, a user recomended me to follow the instruccions here: [https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-elasticsearch-logstash-and-kibana-elk-stack-on-ubuntu-16-04](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-elasticsearch-logstash-and-kibana-elk-stack-on-ubuntu-16-04). So i do that. I have Java 8 installed. Kibana didn't give me problems, but yes Logstash and Elasticsearch. **Elasticsearch** initializes as **active(exited)** and give me this warning: _[warning] /etc/init.d/elasticsearch: No java runtime was found_ **Logstash** initializes as active(running) but after a few seconds changes to **active(exited)** and give me this message: _Starting LSB: Starts Logstash as a daemon...._ Another problem is that i cant install elasticsearch 2.4 although i add "deb [http://packages.elastic.co/elasticsearch/2.x/debian](http://packages.elastic.co/elasticsearch/2.x/debian) stable main" in _/sources.list.d/elasticsearch-2.x.list_ I'm going insane. Thanks for reading **EDIT** If i run the command _sudo /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch_, elasticsearch servuce starts, but kibana shows the follow message in web interface: > This version of Kibana requires Elasticsearch ^2.3.0 on all nodes. I found the following incompatible nodes in your cluster: Elasticsearch v1.7.3 @ inet[localhost/127.0.0.1:9200] (127.0.1.1) > As i said, i can't install a newer version and i don't know why. > Thanks so much. ---

> [@Roberto\_Iglesias](#): > > [warning] /etc/init.d/elasticsearch: No java runtime was found Sounds like it cannot find java in it's path. How did you install java? > [@Roberto\_Iglesias](#): > > Another problem is that i cant install elasticsearch 2.4 although i add "deb [http://packages.elastic.co/elasticsearch/2.x/debian](http://packages.elastic.co/elasticsearch/2.x/debian) stable main" in /sources.list.d/elasticsearch-2.x.list Why, what happens? ---

I don't know. It just installs 1.7.3 version. So i did this: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/\_installation.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/_installation.html) The problem right now is that i cant initialize elasticsearch when Ubuntu starts up. ---

Nothing. I didn't install elasticsearch by adding the source and running apt upgrade; apt install elasticsearch. I downloaded the .tar. To start elasticsearch i have to do this manually. ---
