elasticsearch Command line tools not found

Question

I have installed elasticsearch on Linux 18 and I trying to run the following command:

elasticsearch-node detach-cluster

But I get the following error: command not found

I see these commands from Elasticearch Documentation (here). How do I execute this command?

Answer 1

Depending of your installation, you should find the bin/ of elasticsearch, I most cases is in /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin

example:

# /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-node 
A CLI tool to do unsafe cluster and index manipulations on current node

Non-option arguments:
