You could still run the following to get the versions of available elasticsearch:

brew search elasticsearch

Based on the elasticsearch versio you would like to install, you could install and start/stop the services with the following commands:

brew install [email protected]
brew services start [email protected]
brew services stop [email protected]

and then you will need to run brew link otherwise it will NOT be seen by other software.
I assume you want to install it as a part of some system.

Note: As of Aug 8 2020 I'm only seeing elasticsearch @6 with brew search elasticsearch

Did you figure out how to get V5.x?

Same issue as @Overload119 and @adamthedeveloper. was anyone able to figure out how to install an older version?

To get around this I had to go to the Elasticsearch version page I was looking for (might be differnt from yours) (version 5.6.16 ) and run a curl command to get it on a Ubuntu 18.04

curl -L -O https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-5.6.16.tar.gz

Happy elastisiseing ❤️

Yup I manually got it from the Elasticsearch page.

I tried to install an older version from command:
apple$ brew install elastic/tap/[email protected]

However it returns an error:
Warning: No available formula or cask with the name "elastic/tap/[email protected]". Did you mean elastic/tap/elasticsearch-full?
==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
Error: No similarly named formulae found.
==> Searching for a previously deleted formula (in the last month)...
Error: No previously deleted formula found.

If I do:
brew search elasticsearch

It gives me existing versions in brew:
elastic/tap/elasticsearch-full ✔ elasticsearch@6
elasticsearch

Any solution on how to install older version of elasticsearch on MAC? Can we put an older version of Elasticsearch in brew through some package?

From the experiences of our company( big credit to our new college! ), the following should work:

  1. Update brew
  brew update
  1. Modify formula
  cd /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core/Formula
  git checkout 5874ac8c8fab69f8a714d643581e489bcb176d92 [email protected]
  1. Install [email protected]
  brew install openjdk@8
  brew install [email protected]

If you see the following error

Error: [email protected]: Unsupported special dependency :java

Remove or comment this line( around line 15) from [email protected]

depends_on :java => "1.8+"
  1. Check version
  1. Pin version
