Hi Team,
I am trying to install elasticsearch on Ubuntu 16.04 through ks.cfg but somehow this is not going, can someone please have a look at the error and confirm what could be th issue?
I even tried installing manually and that didnt happen. Is anything broke on Ubuntu?
Please don't post pictures of text, they are difficult to read and some people may not be even able to see them.
Oh I thought that pictures can directly be uploaded using the picture upload option.
BTW can someone please confirm if the issue is with official elastic repo?
You can upload pictures, but if it's text (eg logs) then it's better to paste that directly in and then format as code. Otherwise it's very hard to read.
Please post the text of the output, as mentioned.

It looks like you're trying to install Elasticsearch without first installing Java.
You need to explicitly install a supported JVM before you attempt to install Elasticsearch.

hmmm..when was that changed? It wasnt that before!! I could install elasticsearch before java.
Any way let me try doing that!
That seems to have resolved my issue. Thanks for the update.
