The installation directions for marvel -- a plugin for elastic search -- is very scant and unnecessarily indirect. The clearest instructions I found on how to install the marvel plugin through homebrew was on Twitter! Twitter! Why?! Anyways, to install marvel via brew, you can do this:

brew update
brew upgrade elasticsearch
cd /usr/local/Cellar/elasticsearch/<whatever version>
bin/plugin -i elasticsearch/marvel/latest

As of version 2.3.4, inside of the elasticsearch directory, you'll find there is a libexec/bin folder. That contains the script you need

libexec/bin/plugin install license
libexec/bin/plugin install marvel-license

However, after I did that, my cluster health dropped to yellow and Marvel would not launch. This was on a brand-new install with no data in the index.
