Hello,

I am installing Elasticsearch using the command sudo dnf install --enablerepo=Elasticsearch Elasticsearch

Is there any way to install this with security disabled?

Security is enabled by default and we strongly suggest that you keep it enabled unless you have good reasons not to.  
If that’s the case, you can always set  
`xpack.security.enabled: false` in `/etc/elasticsearch/elastisearch.yml` after installation.
