Hello, I am following these steps to download and install Elastic Search: [Download Elasticsearch | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch) When I type the above command, it's supposed to connect me to loacl host. However, after a few lines, it exits. > ``` > > C:\Users\kb60500\Desktop\elasticsearch-6.4.0>bin\elasticsearch.bat > > [2018-09-07T10:02:47,572][INFO][o.e.n.Node] [] > > initializing ...
