I am trying to install Elasicsearch 7.1.0 but I am failing to do so.  
I am not doing it on Docker or using it for production mode  
I am using Ubuntu on Virtual Box  
And i am not able to install it.

Hi,

can you post the full log? The line you posted is logged as `INFO` and is normal for a controlled shutdown. The real problem is probably some lines above.

Thanks, so it does not start due to a failing bootstrap check, which can e.g. a wrong setting or an out of memory error. Can you post the top of the exception (all messages are also written to `logs/elasticsearch.log` in you installation directory)?

Hey I have copied the entire log from the logs/elasticsearch.logs  
Please let me know what's the issue?

The failing error seems to be:

```auto
[2020-03-18T15:23:24,981][ERROR][o.e.b.Bootstrap] [prabhav-VirtualBox] Guice Exception: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.lang.RuntimePermission" "accessClassInPackage.jdk.internal.vm.annotation")

```

which is an incompatibility between java 13 and es 7.1. According to our support matrix: [https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#matrix\_jvm](https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#matrix_jvm) we do not support this combination.

You can either upgrade elasticsearch or downgrade the jvm.
