Hi,
I am started using elastic search server for my application when i am trying to install the shield & license plugins in Solaris OS by using putty,
Installation command:-
**1. bin/plugin -i elasticsearch/license/latest**
**Error:- bin/plugin:: No such file or directory**
I mentioned my elastic search home directory as ES\_HOME=/ElasticSearch/QA/node1 when i try to execute the above command in putty i am getting the error.
Note:- Please let me know if i done any wrong in setting ES\_HOME Directory and as well as any other configuration details.
Please guide me some detailed explanation to install shield in ES..
Thanks,
Ganeshbabu R

Hi,
Are you executing the command from the ES\_HOME directory? What is your `pwd` when you run the command?

Hi Jay,
Yes, I am executing the command in the ES\_HOME path..
**/ElasticSearch/QA/node1**
pwd path =/ElasticSearch/QA/node1

how did you install elasticsearch? Can you provide the file listing of the bin directory in ES\_HOME?
Also, Solaris is not one of our [officially supported platforms](https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix).

I just manually downloaded the elasticsearch server from the below link
TAR [https://download.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-1.7.2.tar.gz](https://download.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-1.7.2.tar.gz)
1. I used the command **tar -zxvf elasticsearch-1.7.2.tar.gz** to unzip the file.
2. I did some changes in **elasticsearch.yml** file for some performance tuning purpose.
3. File listing of bin directory in **ES\_HOME**
4. I used **CURL** commands in putty for monitoring cluster health & state.
**Note:- Please guide me to install the shield configuration**
Thanks,

Our information for installing Shield is located at [Installing Shield | Shield [2.4] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/shield/current/installing-shield.html)
I think the first step is to figure out why `bin/plugin` fails to execute/be found for you. I see that the output you listed is for /Elasticsearch/QA/node2/bin instead of node1, but I doubt that is the problem.

Need to figure out the solution when executing the **bin/plugin**. The file listing in both node1 & node2 are same inside the bin folder. I took the sample screenshot from my system.
I tried the below command to install license plugin
**$ sudo bin/plugin -i elasticsearch/license/latest -Des.path.conf=/ElasticSearch/QA/node1/config**
but i am getting error as **ksh: sudo: not found**
Is there any solution for this issue?
Thanks,
