local installation of Elasticsearch for WordPress VIP Go infrastructure
Update, 11/2022:
Apparently none of this will work with Elasticsearch versions greater than 8.0. See elastic/homebrew-tap#126 (comment). The alternative seems to be to use Docker, or since it's a big system either way might as well switch to VVV.
Previous instructions
These are basic instructions, and I'm sure could be tightened up.
