Offline installation of elasticsearch plug-ins for Windows

I am trying to install the license plug-in for elasticsearch, but my proxy refuse the connection. When i execute the command plugin install license i get the error:

C:\elasticsearch-2.2.0\bin>plugin install license
-> Installing license...
Trying https://download.elastic.co/elasticsearch/release/org/elasticsearch/plugi
n/license/2.2.0/license-2.2.0.zip ...
Failed: ConnectException[Connection refused: connect]
ERROR: failed to download out of all possible locations..., use --verbose to get
 detailed information
Solution

  • Download the file from the path in the error message (https://download.elastic.co/elasticsearch/release/org/elasticsearch/plugin/license/2.2.0/license-2.2.0.zip) and put it into „C:\“ then execute the following command in cmd

    C:\elasticsearch-2.2.0\bin> plugin install file:"C:\license-2.2.0.zip"

    Alternative: You can specify a Proxy with

    C:\elasticsearch-2.2.0\bin>plugin -DproxyPort=number -DproxyHost=hostname_or_ip install <plugin>
