Github no longer allows downloads, so projects cannot (easily) distribute binaries. You can either clone the repo and build it locally or find a hosted maven repo. Looks like it is hosted on various maven sites: [http://maven-repository.com/artifact/com.github.richardwilly98.elasticsearch/elasticsearch-river-mongodb](http://maven-repository.com/artifact/com.github.richardwilly98.elasticsearch/elasticsearch-river-mongodb) For the latter, you need to use the groupId/artifactId/version syntax. -- Ivan On Mon, Jul 1, 2013 at 6:08 PM, Toru [torutakahashi.ayashi@gmail.com](mailto:torutakahashi.ayashi@gmail.com) wrote: > I'd like to add MongoDB River Plugin and Mapper Attachments Type plugin. > But, system said me, > $bin/plugin -install richardwilly98/elasticsearch-**river-mongodb > -\> Installing richardwilly98/elasticsearch-river-mongodb... > Trying [https://github.com/\*\*richardwilly98/elasticsearch-](https://github.com/**richardwilly98/elasticsearch-) > river-mongodb/zipball/master.[https://github.com/richardwilly98/elasticsearch-river-mongodb/zipball/master.](https://github.com/richardwilly98/elasticsearch-river-mongodb/zipball/master.) > .**.

I just followed these instructions: [Home · richardwilly98/elasticsearch-river-mongodb Wiki · GitHub](https://github.com/richardwilly98/elasticsearch-river-mongodb/wiki) $/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/plugin -i com.github.richardwilly98.elasticsearch/elasticsearch-river-mongodb/1.7.2 Seemed to work for me just fine. Though I also had the same issue at first when trying to install it via other means.
