Hi,

I am new to the elastic search technology and exploring my option with log analysis using Elastic search.  
The first step that I saw in installing Elasticsearch in to install the PGP key as follows:  
"wget -qO - [https://packages.elasticsearch.org/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch](https://packages.elasticsearch.org/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch) | sudo apt-key add -"

When I run the command I get an erro saying:  
GPG: no valid OpenPGP data found.

I didn't succeed to come around this issue.  
Can anyone help?

Using Ubuntu 14.04 on a VMWare

Thanks  
Yoram

Managed to resolve it.  
separated the command in to two commands and used directly the file name which was downloaded

Happened to me when I installed `wget` like this:

```auto
apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends wget

```

Probably your `wget` can't handle `https`.
