I think it should be

```auto
bin/elasticsearch -Des.path.conf=/etc/elasticsearch/

```

It is still showing the same error message . Can you tell the whole method again to create multiple nodes on a single  
machine in elasticsearch version 2.3.4. Thanks in advance.

My guess is that is for testing right?

Just download the tar or zip file, unzip  
Then launch bin/elasticsearch as many time you wish everyone in its shell.
