Hi @danielmitterdorfer Now I running as user not root, running as another user named "elasticsearch". When I running, I occur the same problem as [Esrally - Couldn't find a tar.gz distribution when building from sources](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/esrally-couldnt-find-a-tar-gz-distribution-when-building-from-sources/55966). Your know, My gradle is 2.13 and my java is 1.8, just like: [root@laoyang config]# echo $JAVA\_HOME /opt/jdk1.8.0\_91 [root@laoyang config]# gradle :help ``` Welcome to Gradle 2.13. ``` But I still have errors as follow: 2016-08-08-05-31-29/local/logs/rally\_out.log). [elasticsearch@laoyang bin]$ esrally ``` ________ ``` / \_\_ \_\_\_\_ _/ / /_ \_\_ / /_/ / \_\_ `/ / / / / / / , / // / / / // / /_/ |_|\ __,_/_/_/\__ , / /\_\_\_\_/ Writing additional logs to /home/elasticsearch/.rally/benchmarks/races/2016-08-08-05-36-47/local/logs/rally\_out.log Preparing for race (might take a few moments) ...
