Installing Plugins
editInstalling Plugins
editThe documentation for each plugin usually includes specific installation instructions for that plugin, but below we document the various available options:
Core Elasticsearch plugins
editCore Elasticsearch plugins can be installed as follows:
sudo bin/plugin install [plugin_name]
For instance, to install the core ICU plugin, just run the following command:
sudo bin/plugin install analysis-icu
This command will install the version of the plugin that matches your Elasticsearch version.
Community and non-core plugins
editNon-core plugins provided by Elasticsearch, or plugins provided by the
community, can be installed from download.elastic.co
, from Maven (Central
and Sonatype), or from GitHub. In this case, the command is as follows:
sudo bin/plugin install [org]/[user|component]/[version]
For instance, to install the Kopf plugin from GitHub, run one of the following commands:
sudo bin/plugin install lmenezes/elasticsearch-kopf sudo bin/plugin install lmenezes/elasticsearch-kopf/2.x
When installing from Maven Central/Sonatype, [org]
should be replaced by
the artifact groupId
, and [user|component]
by the artifactId
