Hi,

I tried to install Elasticsearch on my Debian machine but everytime I try, I get:

```auto
apt install elasticsearch-6.3.2.deb 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package elasticsearch-6.3.2.deb
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'elasticsearch-6.3.2.deb'

```

Edit:  
Doesn't work with dpkg either:

```auto
dpkg -i ./elasticsearch-6.3.2.deb 
(Reading database ... 102776 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack ./elasticsearch-6.3.2.deb ...
dpkg: error processing archive ./elasticsearch-6.3.2.deb (--install):
 subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
### NOT starting on installation, please execute the following statements to configure elasticsearch service to start automatically using systemd
 sudo systemctl daemon-reload
 sudo systemctl enable elasticsearch.service
### You can start elasticsearch service by executing
 sudo systemctl start elasticsearch.service
Errors were encountered while processing:
 ./elasticsearch-6.3.2.deb

```

I could install an older Version of elasticsearch(6.3.0) but now I have the problem that it doesn't start either.
