Hi

I have been following the steps for installation of Elasticsearch as given.  
However, when using apt-get to install a specific version of Elasticsearch, it gives an error.

Steps Used:-

1. wget -qO - [https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch](https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch) |  
sudo apt-key add -
2. sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
3. echo "deb [https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/5.x/apt](https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/5.x/apt)  
stable main" |  
sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elastic-5.x.list

Now let's say I need to install Elasticsearch 5.1.1 then using the following command:

1. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install elasticsearch=5.1.1

It gives an error that not found.
