Hi dadoonet,

As per the below link :

> **[mobz/elasticsearch-head](https://github.com/mobz/elasticsearch-head)**
>
> elasticsearch-head - A web front end for an elastic search cluster

Whenever i am trying to execute "git clone git://github.com/mobz/elasticsearch-head.git" getting below error:

Cloning into 'elasticsearch-head'...  
fatal: Unable to look up [github.com](http://github.com) (port 9418) (Name or service not known)

Please Advise on this...

It's a git question. Not an elasticsearch one. I can't help here to fix this problem.  
I suppose that you can't access to github on port 9418 from your network.

You can also try to download instead: [https://github.com/mobz/elasticsearch-head/archive/master.zip](https://github.com/mobz/elasticsearch-head/archive/master.zip)

what does exactly mean "the plugin not get worked"?

Any error message? Did you follow the instructions on [https://www.elastic.co/blog/running-site-plugins-with-elasticsearch-5-0](https://www.elastic.co/blog/running-site-plugins-with-elasticsearch-5-0) and this section `Running site plugins with Elasticsearch 5.0`?

May be describe all the steps you followed?  
If it still does not work, may be open an issue in the project itself?
