I followed the guide here on how to install elastic search. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-elasticsearch-on-an-ubuntu-vps#tutorial-comment-submit
It mentions that it’s outdated though for installing the deb packages. What would be the steps needed to install elasticsearch through their repository. I wasn’t entirely sure and obviously don’ want to mess it up.

@Andrew SB <br> <br>Thanks Andrew, I seem to have it working. My Putty is showing it’s connected. <br> <br>Jonny
Just run the command as it is. It downloads the key on its own. <br> <br>The “wget” command downloads the key from the url provided. The " | " is called a pipe. It passes the results of the “wget” command to what comes after it, in this case the “apt-key add” command. Try just running: <br> <br><pre> <br>wget -O - http://packages.elasticsearch.org/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch <br></pre> <br> <br>You’ll see that it prints to the terminal the contents of the downloaded file. So when you add the second part, those contents are “piped” to the “apt-key add” command. <br> <br>I hope that’s clear.

Thanks Andrew, where you say “to install their key with:” Do I need to replace the first command where it says <br> <br>wget -O - http://packages.elasticsearch.org/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | apt-key add <br> <br>With <br> <br>wget -O - http://packages.elasticsearch.org/ACTUAL-KEY-I-DOWNLOADED | apt-key add <br> <br>? <br> <br>If so do I need to include the initial “-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- <br>Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (GNU/Linux… rest of key” <br> <br>Like, literally copy the contents of the whole public key you can download here: <br> <br>http://packages.elasticsearch.org/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch <br> <br>Again apologies if this is ever so simple.
