pip install elasticsearch-curator
Upgrading with pip
editIf you already have Elasticsearch Curator installed, and want to upgrade to the
latest version, use the -U
flag:
pip install -U elasticsearch-curator
Installing a specific version with pip
editThe -U
flag uninstalls the current version (if any), then installs the latest
version, or a specified one. Specify a specific version by adding ==
followed
by the version you’d like to install, like this:
pip install -U elasticsearch-curator==3.5.1
System-wide vs. User-only installation
editThe above commands each imply a system-wide installation. This usually
requires super-user access, or the sudo
command. There is a way to install
Curator into a path for just the current user, using the --user
flag.
pip install --user elasticsearch-curator
This will result in the curator
end-point being installed in the current
user’s home directory, in the .local
directory, in the bin
subdirectory. The
full path might look something like this:
/home/user/.local/bin/curator
You can make an alias or a symlink to this so you can call it more easily.
The --user
flag can also be used in conjunction with the -U
flag:
pip install -U --user elasticsearch-curator==3.5.1
