Hello,
Some time ago there was news on blog about X-Pack free features (https://www.elastic.co/products/x-pack/open).
According to such information I wonder if is possible to install X-Pack on -oss version ES?
Best regards,
You can, but why not just use the packages that contain it?
I have configured ES cluster from Bitnami template. When trying to install X-Pack plugin on oss 6.3 ES I got message
ERROR: X-Pack is not available with the oss distribution; to use X-Pack features use the default distribution

Ahh ok, I didn't realise it did that.
Why not just use our packages then?
At the moment there is no option to switch from oss packages
