I installed Elasticsearch on Linux Mint without any trouble.
Everything according this tutorial Easy install for elasticsearch on Ubuntu 14.04.
All installation steps went well. However, when I want to run easy check:
I got:
nazar@lelyak-desktop:~$ curl -X GET 'http://localhost:9200'
curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 9200: Connection refused
PC reboot didn't help.
How to solve this issue?
Follow official documentation here instead of that linked gist - it refers to very old ES version. Setup recent deb repository with:
echo "deb https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/6.x/apt stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elastic-6.x.list
and install via apt.
Go to the terminal and execute:
sudo service elasticsearch start
