Install Elasticsearch on Ubuntu

elasticsearch_install.sh

Prerequisites

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk 

Install

cd ~
wget https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-1.1.0.deb
sudo dpkg -i elasticsearch-1.1.0.deb

Start

sudo service elasticsearch start

Test

curl http://localhost:9200

should respond with something like:

{
  "status" : 200,
  "name" : "Caleb Alexander",
  "version" : {
    "number" : "1.1.0",
    "build_hash" : "2181e113dea80b4a9e31e58e9686658a2d46e363",
    "build_timestamp" : "2014-03-25T15:59:51Z",
    "build_snapshot" : false,
    "lucene_version" : "4.7"
  },
  "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

If there is not curl on machine type http://localhost:9200 in browser and effect should be the same.
