This has been addressed in the reply here: https://github.com/elastic/rally/issues/585#issuecomment-430499932 (but discuss is the correct place the ask this question, so thank you for that).

As per @danielmitterdorfer's answer in GH, there was a config issue (6.0 branch was missing from the repo https://github.com/elastic/rally-teams), which has been fixed now.

Sorry for the quick reply without reading the essence of your question; seeing "digital ocean" I thought it's just a repost of the the ticket you raised in https://github.com/elastic/rally/issues/585#issue-370683671.

First of all one request:

Please don't post unformatted code as it's very hard to read.

Instead paste the text and format it with </> icon, and check the preview
window to make sure it's properly formatted before posting it. This makes it
more likely that your question will receive a useful answer.

It would be great if you could update your post to solve this.

Now to your question:

As can be seen in the output you posted:

Install a JDK with one of the versions [8] and point to i t with one of ['JAVA8_HOME', 'JAVA_HOME']

you will need to have java-8 installed and at the very least ensure an environment variable JAVA_HOME is set correctly. Please refers to the Rally Quickstart guide and Elasticsearch docs.
