Your going to have to provide some details of what operation system your working with as all linux systems have a /var/log/messages or something about your config, because it is not normal for it to not run .

Is there a message after you enter the command line , anything? cause the command you listed is not correct there is a space in it ./bin/elasticsearch not ./bin /elasticsearch I presume that was just a typo
