Tutorial for ElasticSearch Basic Setup
February 4, 2014
The article on DZone titled Getting Started With ElasticSearch offers a step-by-step guide to the search engine to fill the hole in tutorials. The author promises that by the end of reading the post the user will be armed with the tools to begin working with ElasticSearch in Windows 7. The instructions begin with the assumption that the user already has Java installed.
After downloading ElasticSearch, the tutorial explains:
“I am new to Curl and cygwin and i wanted to cut short the time frame to learn it (as most of the command references on ElasticSearch.org are for non-Windows platform). You can install Curl from http://curl.haxx.se/download.html and cygwin from http://cygwin.com/install.html. Now let’s test what we have done till now. In Windows7 Desktop Environment, start command line and cd C:\elasticsearch-0.90.3\bin. Now execute elasticsearch.bat. This will start one of the ElasticSearch nodes on the localhost.”
After a few more steps, the article concludes with the information that status 200 simply means everything is working. The tutorial continues with installing elasticsearch-head plugin into your environment and finally developing an application for employees within a department. The details are well worth looking over in order to get ElasticSearch jumpstarted and to get users working on their search projects.
