We're going to use our development machine in order to build the knowledge on elasticsearch and its usage.
If you're on OSX like us, you can install elasticsearch with a simple brew install elasticsearch
. Follow the instruction to start the server and to autostart the service at boot.
If you are on a different platform you can go to http://www.elasticsearch.org/download/ and choose your preferred installation way.
Now we need to install the elasticsearch development console. Change directory to the elasticsearch installation (you can find it with which elasticsearch
... in my case it's /usr/local
) and install the marvel plugin: bin/plugin -i elasticsearch/marvel/latest
