I'm using play framework and i've already intalled it and downloaded the suggester plug in from [https://github.com/codere/elasticsearch-suggest-plugin](https://github.com/codere/elasticsearch-suggest-plugin) put i don't know how to install it, i know it is supposed to be an easy task but i'm a newbie in play and elasticsearch. ---

IMO, if you have install the plugin (command like bin/plugin -install ...), you just need to start Elasticsearch and see in logs if the plugin is discovered by ES. Is it what you are meaning by "how to install it" ?

I know I'm sending a lot of emails but i'm a beginner. here is what i reached i solved the error but still i can't find the suggester jar files in my project explorer. I'm not sure where shall i unzip it (in the lib/ directory of play framework itself or in the lib/ directory of the application i'm creating or in that of the Elasticsearch?) second to use it do i have to add anything in the dependencies.yml or in the application.config files or a class path or so? I apologize again for sending many emails but i've been stuck for 2 days trying to install this plugin.

By running the above command, you have installed the plugin. Then you restart elasticsearch, and you should see in the log file (look in logs/) a line saying that it has loaded the suggest plugin.

Hi clearly you did not run "play deps" when you got the ClassNotFoundError On 21 Apr., 21:50, Renad Ahmed [renad.ahme...@gmail.com](mailto:renad.ahme...@gmail.com) wrote: > but the steps here in the link are for elasticsearch 0.19.2 but for play > framework only possible version is 0.4. is there anyway to solve this > problem? > Please take yourself the time and understand the differences between > the play framework elasticsearch module and the elasticsearch itself > (and its versions). You can connect to an external elasticsearch instance using the play framework elasticsearch module (check the documentation at [http://www.playframework.org/modules/elasticsearch-0.4/home](http://www.playframework.org/modules/elasticsearch-0.4/home)) - you should do that instead of mixing two technologies, as this keeps things simpler, especially as I do not know if it is possible to specifiy an external configuration file using the elasticsearch play framework module. --Alexander ---
