Hi All,  
I have installed elasticsearch 5.0.0 version in Windows 7.after that i am not able to install head plugin by going through below steps.

(Running with built in server  
enable cors by adding http.cors.enabled: true in elasticsearch configuration. Don’t forget to also set http.cors.allow-origin because no origin allowed by default. http.cors.allow-origin: "\*" is valid value, however it’s considered as a security risk as your cluster is open to cross origin from anywhere. Check Elasticsearch documentation on this parameter: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-http.html#modules-httpgit](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-http.html#modules-httpgit) clone git://github.com/mobz/elasticsearch-head.gitcd elasticsearch-headnpm installgrunt serveropen [http://localhost:9100/](http://localhost:9100/))

can nay body help me out. Thank you so much in advance.

Site plugins are no longer supported in Elasticsearch 5.0. Read [this blog post](https://www.elastic.co/blog/running-site-plugins-with-elasticsearch-5-0) to learn more about this.
