Usage

Start Applications

• $ elasticsearch --config=/usr/local/opt/elasticsearch/config/elasticsearch.yml
• $ kibana

Love this walkthrough. Helped me a lot.

But it looks like there's been a few changes:

• Marvel is now part of the X-Pack module.
• The path for installing plugins has changed to bin/elasticsearch-plugin install x-pack

Thanks again, without this I would never have gotten it to work 👍

Brew cask installation:
brew install brew-cask-completion

What a beautiful guides. Thanks a lot.
Though, may be we need to add xpack.security.enabled: false in config file of both kibana and elasticsearch, which disable the security check when using x-pack.
