Dear all,

What are the steps to install ES plugins like ElasticSearch Head and  
Inquistor on a Windows 64-bit environment?

I have downloaded the zip file, from  
[https://github.com/polyfractal/elasticsearch-inquisitor](https://github.com/polyfractal/elasticsearch-inquisitor),  
and unzipped and put the folder in my ES\>plugins directory, but going  
to [http://localhost:9200/\_plugin/inquisitor/](http://localhost:9200/_plugin/inquisitor/) produces a blank screen.

Would appreciate if anyone could provide the steps to install.

Thanks a bunch!

You can use bin/plugin to install it, right?

If you want to do it manually, then make sure you unzip the site plugin files in:

plugins/yourpluginname/\_site/

Sorry to bring this up again, but I am a complete newby to ElasticSearch.

Where is the "plugins" folder supposed to be on Windows?  
I don't have one in the root folder or in the bin folder, am I supposed to  
create it myself?

Thanks David, Unfortunately it's still not clear to me, like I said,  
complete newby.

I tried installing in several ways.

:[https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-2phuHMgrKsU/UyC60EvOfsI/AAAAAAAAAPo/JE5FXAIaoPk/s1600/cmnd.jpg](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-2phuHMgrKsU/UyC60EvOfsI/AAAAAAAAAPo/JE5FXAIaoPk/s1600/cmnd.jpg)

I ran the plugin.bat on it's own prior to trying this.

Also all the documentaion says that plugins can be manually installed by  
placing them in the plugins folder, but where is this folder supposed to be  
located?

How did you install elasticsearch? Did you download the elasticsearch zip file from [elasticsearch.org](http://elasticsearch.org) website?

I installed it using the installer I downloaded from here :

[http://ruilopes.com/elasticsearch-setup/](http://ruilopes.com/elasticsearch-setup/)

Since that also installs it as a service on Windows. (I am using the 64 bit  
version.)

Everything else seems to be working fine, the status is green and I can  
use sense to run queries, but I just can't seem to install any plugins.

Thanks for your Help !!

You'll need to find where the bin folder is where ES is installed. From the  
command prompt, CD to that bin folder. Then run

plugin -i

BTW, if you download the latest ES 1.x, there is already a service install  
option also included. It's been available for a couple versions now.

Still no luck, same problem as before:

Guess I'm going to have to start all over again, uninstall ad try  
installing a download directly from elasticsearch , since you mentioned it  
already have a service inataller option.  
Hopefully that will resolve the issue.

Yeah just download the zip directly like David mentioned and you should be  
fine:

[http://www.elasticsearch.org/overview/elkdownloads/](http://www.elasticsearch.org/overview/elkdownloads/)

My guess is your ruilopes package is missing something like maybe the  
plugin.bat file is not included?

Thanks Binh Ly

Just to clarify , the plugin.bat file is present in the bin directory.  
Don't want to blame the installer package untill I can actually proove that  
is the problem.

Update : Installed elasticserahc using the download directly from their  
page, but still have the exact same problem. So it appears to have nothing  
to do with the installer at all.

Now I am trying to manually install, by downloadint the zip files directly  
and unzipping them into the the plugins directoy.  
(in my case C:\elasticsearch\plugins)

However when i run [http://localhost:9200/\_nodes/plugin?pretty](http://localhost:9200/_nodes/plugin?pretty) it show's  
me no plugins installed.

{  
"cluster\_name" : "DnaDigiDocs\_OSJ",  
"nodes" : {  
"lah5eFSASPSNbbRBN0Tx5g" : {  
"name" : "OSJ1",  
"transport\_address" : "inet[/192.168.0.119:9300]",

"ip" : "192.168.0.119",

"http\_address" : "inet[/192.168.0.119:9200]",  
"plugins" :   
}  
}  
}

This is really doing my head in and i am running out of time on evaluating  
the use of elasticsearch for our project.

Anyone got any ideas?

Two options:

- your package installer modified somehow how elasticsearch is launched or elasticsearch.yml file and put plugins in another directory
- you did not install the plugin as expected

Which plugin are you trying to install?

I have also tried by modifying the yml with this:

path.plugins: C:/Program Files (x86)/elasticsearch/plugins  
and also tried this variant  
path.plugins: C:Program Files (x86)\elasticsearch\plugins

But they still don't show up.

Don't know if it makes any difference, I'm on a 64 bit machine.  
Have tried installing elasticsearch in both C:Program Files (x86) and in

could you try to install all your plugins in:

c:\apps\elasticsearch\plugins

for example. I meant avoid spaces.

That said,

May be this could work:

path.plugins: "C:\Program Files (x86)\elasticsearch\plugins"

in your plugins dir you should find two subdirs:

- mapper-attachements
- analysis-combo

And in each of those, some jar files

I forgot to mention that I had also tried before placing it directly in the  
C drive.  
so C:/elasticsearch

I think the manula installation may be a problem with what is in my  
unzipped files files,  
the jar files are not at teh top level:

You are not supposed to have source code in distribution files.  
You probably download zip files from github right?

This is not the right place (at least for mapper-attachments).  
Try this: [http://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments-2.0.0.RC1.zip](http://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments-2.0.0.RC1.zip)

That said,

May be this could work:

path.plugins: "C:\Program Files (x86)\elasticsearch\plugins"

in your plugins dir you should find two subdirs:

- mapper-attachements
- analysis-combo

And in each of those, some jar files

I have also tried by modifying the yml with this:

path.plugins: C:/Program Files (x86)/elasticsearch/plugins  
and also tried this variant  
path.plugins: C:Program Files (x86)\elasticsearch\plugins

But they still don't show up.

Don't know if it makes any difference, I'm on a 64 bit machine.  
Have tried installing elasticsearch in both C:Program Files (x86) and in C:Program Files, but it doesn't seem to make any difference

(in my case C:\elasticsearch\plugins)

However when i run [http://localhost:9200/\_nodes/plugin?pretty](http://localhost:9200/_nodes/plugin?pretty) it show's me no plugins installed.

{

This is really doing my head in and i am running out of time on evaluating the use of elasticsearch for our project.

Anyone got any ideas?

Just to clarify , the plugin.bat file is present in the bin directory.  
Don't want to blame the installer package untill I can actually proove that is the problem.

You mean for the other "plugins", right?

It depends. basically when you have instructions like: [https://github.com/yakaz/elasticsearch-analysis-combo](https://github.com/yakaz/elasticsearch-analysis-combo)  
bin/plugin -install com.yakaz.elasticsearch.plugins/elasticsearch-analysis-combo/1.5.0

It means that they are available in Maven:

[http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=com/yakaz/elasticsearch/plugins/elasticsearch-analysis-combo/1.5.0/elasticsearch-analysis-combo-1.5.0.zip](http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=com/yakaz/elasticsearch/plugins/elasticsearch-analysis-combo/1.5.0/elasticsearch-analysis-combo-1.5.0.zip)

That was it, Thanks so much !!!

How do I get the correct download link for the other attachments?

You are not supposed to have source code in distribution files.  
You probably download zip files from github right?

This is not the right place (at least for mapper-attachments).  
Try this: [http://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments-2.0.0.RC1.zip](http://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments-2.0.0.RC1.zip)

I forgot to mention that I had also tried before placing it directly in the C drive.  
so C:/elasticsearch

I think the manula installation may be a problem with what is in my unzipped files files,  
the jar files are not at teh top level:

Thanks again for all your help!!

could you try to install all your plugins in:

c:\apps\elasticsearch\plugins

for example. I meant avoid spaces.

That said,

May be this could work:

path.plugins: "C:\Program Files (x86)\elasticsearch\plugins"

in your plugins dir you should find two subdirs:

- mapper-attachements
- analysis-combo

And in each of those, some jar files

I have also tried by modifying the yml with this:

path.plugins: C:/Program Files (x86)/elasticsearch/plugins  
and also tried this variant  
path.plugins: C:Program Files (x86)\elasticsearch\plugins

But they still don't show up.

Don't know if it makes any difference, I'm on a 64 bit machine.  
Have tried installing elasticsearch in both C:Program Files (x86) and in C:Program Files, but it doesn't seem to make any difference

Two options:

- your package installer modified somehow how elasticsearch is launched or elasticsearch.yml file and put plugins in another directory
- you did not install the plugin as expected

Which plugin are you trying to install?

Update : Installed elasticserahc using the download directly from their page, but still have the exact same problem. So it appears to have nothing to do with the installer at all.

Now I am trying to manually install, by downloadint the zip files directly and unzipping them into the the plugins directoy.  
(in my case C:\elasticsearch\plugins)

However when i run [http://localhost:9200/\_nodes/plugin?pretty](http://localhost:9200/_nodes/plugin?pretty) it show's me no plugins installed.

{  
"cluster\_name" : "DnaDigiDocs\_OSJ",  
"nodes" : {  
"lah5eFSASPSNbbRBN0Tx5g" : {  
"name" : "OSJ1",  
"transport\_address" : "inet[/192.168.0.119:9300]",  
"host" : "MacPro-PC",  
"ip" : "192.168.0.119",  
"version" : "1.0.1",  
"build" : "5c03844",  
"http\_address" : "inet[/192.168.0.119:9200]",  
"plugins" : []  
}  
}  
}

This is really doing my head in and i am running out of time on evaluating the use of elasticsearch for our project.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks Binh Ly

Just to clarify , the plugin.bat file is present in the bin directory.  
Don't want to blame the installer package untill I can actually proove that is the problem.

Yeah just download the zip directly like David mentioned and you should be fine:

## My guess is your ruilopes package is missing something like maybe the plugin.bat file is not included?
