New to Ealsticsearch and trying to install it on my personal machine

Is there any documentation regarding how to start multiple nodes on Ubuntu 18.04 with Elasticsearch 7?

We'd generally recommend using docker for this if you can.

I cannot use docker, does it mean we cannot do it on single machine

You can, it's just a bit harder to manage.

I don't know if there is specific documentation around this approach though.
