How To Install Elasticsearch on Ubuntu 16.04
Introduction
Elasticsearch is a platform for distributed search and analysis of data in real time. Its popularity is due to its ease of use, powerful features, and scalability.
Elasticsearch supports RESTful operations. This means that you can use HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.) in combination with an HTTP URI (/collection/entry) to manipulate your data. The intuitive RESTful approach is both developer- and user-friendly, which is one of the reasons for Elasticsearch’s popularity.
Elasticsearch is a free and open source software with a solid company behind it: Elastic. This combination makes it suitable for use in anywhere from personal testing to corporate integration.
This article will introduce you to Elasticsearch and show you how to install, configure, secure, and start using it. (Digitalocean)
