#Installing Elasticsearch 2.0 on CentOS 7
##Overview This gist describes how to install Elasticsearch 2.0 on CentOS 7. Some of this information is straight from the Elasticsearch site, some of it is specific to CentOS 7, and a lot of it is specific to the enviroment I was creating at the time for syslog capture. YMMV.
If you are using a different OS you can probably adapt these instructions, but I recommend going over the official documentation first.
##Assumptions and Background Each node in the cluster was a clean install of CentOS 7. I used the "Compute Node" installation option with no additional packages.
