Shown after installing

Elasticsearch-specific utilities are symlinked into /usr/local/bin.

Please see /usr/local/etc/elasticsearch for a sample version of elasticsearch.yml.

For optimal performance, Elasticsearch requires locking large amounts of RAM.
Therefore, it is advisable to set the following in /etc/sysctl.conf:

  security.bsd.unprivileged_mlock=1

When running within a jail, it's highly advisable to set:

  enforce_statfs = 1

for the jail running the Elasticsearch instance.

!!! PLUGINS NOTICE !!!

Elasticsearch plugins should only be installed via the elasticsearch-plugin
included with this software. As we strive to provide a minimum semblance
of security, the files installed by the package are owned by root:wheel.
This is different than upstream which expects all of the files to be
owned by the user and for you to execute the elasticsearch-plugin script
as said user.

You will encounter permissions errors with configuration files and
directories created by plugins which you will have to manually correct.
This is the price we have to pay to protect ourselves in the face of
a poorly designed security model.

e.g. After modifying the keystore, or installing a plugin, you may have to run:

chown elasticsearch:elasticsearch /usr/local/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.keystore
chown -R elasticsearch:elasticsearch /usr/local/etc/elasticsearch/plugin
