X-pack shipment in elasticsearch 6.6.1

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,
I have installed elasticsearch-oss-6.6.1-1.noarch on my node. Document of elasticsearch releases says that X-Pack ships by default after ES -6.2. But in my elasticsearch.yml file I didn't find any X-Pack related settings. I tried it to give those settings manually by adding xpack.security.enabled: false as I want to use trial version for now but it also gave me an error . Please find the error in below log.

Please guide me for where I am getting wrong. Thanx.

It's because you downloaded the oss version which does not contains any other features such as security.
Instead install elasticsearch-6.6.1-1.noarch (I believe that's the right name).

Okay dadoonet Thank you for the help. So now I have downloaded OSS version of elasticserach , from where can I get the respective compatible version of X-Pack? I want to install it as an external plugin as we used to do in older versions of elasticsearch. Is it possible to do so?

It is no longer installed as a separate plugin, so you will need to switch to the default distribution.
