I installed on my Mac OS 14.0.6 Elasticsearch with brew. It must be ES V 6 - not 7. But I tied to install 7 too - same error. So must be problem with the jdk? I was also installing java 8 with brew (was asking to install before Elasticsearch).  
After all finished and start in console with "Elasticsearch" I getter's error:

> OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: Cannot open file logs/gc.log due to No such file or directory

How can I fix this?

please do not create two posts about the same issue. This looks like a duplicate of [ES 6.8.2 on Mac OS 14.0.6 and Java JDK 12.0.2 ERROR](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/es-6-8-2-on-mac-os-14-0-6-and-java-jdk-12-0-2-error/195852) to me.

Thanks!
