Elasticsearch on OSX via Homebrew

Requirements

• OSX with Homebrew installed

Installation

brew update
brew install elasticsearch

Usage

Start the server by running the following: elasticsearch --config=/usr/local/opt/elasticsearch/config/elasticsearch.yml

Your server should be running on port 9200. Test that it is working by running curl http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health?pretty=true. You should see something similar to:

{
  "cluster_name" : "elasticsearch_desmondmorris",
  "status" : "green",
  "timed_out" : false,
  "number_of_nodes" : 1,
  "number_of_data_nodes" : 1,
  "active_primary_shards" : 0,
  "active_shards" : 0,
  "relocating_shards" : 0,
  "initializing_shards" : 0,
  "unassigned_shards" : 0
}
