I want to do some actions like:

1. create ilm
2. set ilm for indices
3. create rollup jobs for indices

Is this possible to do with elsaticsearch-curator?

Curator was created before ILM. ILM supercedes Curator for nearly all use cases. Why would you want Curator if you're trying to set up ILM?

You can use the [ILM APIs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/index-lifecycle-management-api.html) to set up ILM too.

I really did not want to do development. But given the evidence, it seems I have to develop

You can setup ILM in Kibana.
