It seems the remote endpoint to download the plugin could not be reached. Are you in a sealed or secured environment that requires some special setup for downloading anything from the internet? If not, this probably was a hiccup and you can retry, but I could also imagine there is a firewall or some required proxy setup. ---

Yeah, I am using my official (office) laptop which has lot of restrictions for everything. Can we download the plugin as zip file which is mentioned as offline installation After downloading the zip file where should we put the file? ---

I downloaded the zip file and extracted it. I am using elastic search of version 7.4.2 and I installed ingest plugin of version 7.6.Will that be compatible Do we need to place that folder in bin ? Further is there anything to run ingest plugin? ---

you always need to use the same plugin version than elasticsearch version. You can just modify the path of downloading. Also the documentation stats how to install that plugin, so please follow those steps. ---
