X-Pack on OSS

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

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
