Elasticsearch Curator 4.2.6 Binary Package (DEB)

Repository Configuration

edit

Add the following in your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory in a file with a .list suffix, for example curator.list

deb http://packages.elastic.co/curator/4/debian stable main

After running sudo apt-get update, the repository is ready for use.

Use the file edit method described above to add the Curator repository. Do not use add-apt-repository as it will add a deb-src entry as well, but we do not provide a source package. If you have added the deb-src entry, you will see an error like the following:

Unable to find expected entry 'main/source/Sources' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

Just delete the deb-src entry from the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/curator.list file and the installation should work as expected.

Binary Package Installation

edit

Starting with version 4.1.2, Curator comes with a binary version. What this really means is that the source is compiled, and all required libraries are bundled with the curator binary, so there are no conflicts.

The binary packages resulting from the creation process have been tested on Debian 8, and Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04, & 16.04. It was also tested on Debian 7, but that failed due to a libc library mismatch. This binary package may work on other similar or derivative variants, but they have not been tested.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install elasticsearch-curator

This will install the necessary files into /opt/elasticsearch-curator and make a symlink at /usr/bin/curator that points to the curator binary in the aforementioned directory.

The elasticsearch-curator binary package cannot coexist with the older python-elasticsearch-curator packages. This collision is explicitly defined in packages since 4.1.2, but not in previous packages. If it is installed, you must uninstall the python-elasticsearch-curator package before installing the elasticsearch-curator binary package.
