I'm use ES 6.6.0. I need to run multiple **ES** nodes on same machine. I duplicated Elastic installation directory and config & data directories. I created new **ES\_HOME** & **ES\_PATH\_CONFIG** environment variable and changed the names of older variables to newer ones in all **.bat** files but **elasticsearch.exe** still refers to older variables. I also tried  
**-Epath** but I think its deprecated now.  
If anyone can help.

Hi @KashiPashoria_Tonny,

Is there a reason that you want to do this way?  
You can use Docker to run multiple ES nodes with docker-compose  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docker.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docker.html)

Thanks and Regards,
