我有一个运行Ubuntu
12.04的VM，并且正在尝试安装ElasticSearch。我本着最好的“艰苦学习X”的精神遵循了这个要旨，并且一切都安装正确-
软件包已下载，解压缩，复制到正确的位置等。

当我运行它时，问题就来了-通过调用：

$ /usr/local/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch

或使用服务包装器（$ rselasticsearch console）

输出记录到wrapper.log并包含在下面。我认为我可能遇到JAVA home / classpath问题，但不确定。

非常感谢任何帮助！

更新资料

鉴于我们现在已经到了2016年，在Ubuntu上运行ES的最简单方法是使用Docker。docker run elasticsearch将下载最新版本并在前台运行它，显然您可以将其作为守护程序运行，或运行特定版本（例如elasticsearch:1.7.2）并设置端口等。
