editCustom URL or file system
editA plugin can also be downloaded directly from a custom location by specifying the URL:
- Unix
-

- Windows
-
To install a plugin from your local file system at
C:\path\to\plugin.zip, you could run:bin\elasticsearch-plugin install file:///C:/path/to/plugin.zip
Any path that contains spaces must be wrapped in quotes!
If you are installing a plugin from the filesystem the plugin distribution must not be contained in the
pluginsdirectory for the node that you are installing the plugin to or installation will fail. - HTTP
-
To install a plugin from an HTTP URL:
sudo bin/elasticsearch-plugin install https://some.domain/path/to/plugin.zip
The plugin script will refuse to talk to an HTTPS URL with an untrusted certificate. To use a self-signed HTTPS cert, you will need to add the CA cert to a local Java truststore and pass the location to the script as follows:
sudo CLI_JAVA_OPTS="-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/path/to/trustStore.jks" bin/elasticsearch-plugin install https://host/plugin.zip
