APT repository

We use the PGP key D88E42B4, Elastic’s Signing Key, with fingerprint

4609 5ACC 8548 582C 1A26 99A9 D27D 666C D88E 42B4

to sign all our packages. PGP is available from http://pgp.mit.edu.

Signing Key

edit

Download and install the Public Signing Key:

wget -qO - https://packages.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | sudo apt-key add -

Repository Configuration

edit

Add the following in your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory in a file with a .list suffix, for example curator.list

deb http://packages.elastic.co/curator/4/debian stable main

After running sudo apt-get update, the repository is ready for use.

Use the file edit method described above to add the Curator repository. Do not use add-apt-repository as it will add a deb-src entry as well, but we do not provide a source package. If you have added the deb-src entry, you will see an error like the following:

Unable to find expected entry 'main/source/Sources' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

Just delete the deb-src entry from the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/curator.list file and the installation should work as expected.

Binary Package Installation (recommended)

edit

Starting with version 4.1.2, Curator comes with a binary version. What this really means is that the source is compiled, and all required libraries are bundled with the curator binary, so there are no conflicts.

The binary packages resulting from the creation process have been tested on Debian 8, and Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04, & 16.04. It was also tested on Debian 7, but that failed due to a libc library mismatch. This binary package may work on other similar or derivative variants, but they have not been tested.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install elasticsearch-curator

This will install the necessary files into /opt/elasticsearch-curator and make a symlink at /usr/bin/curator that points to the curator binary in the aforementioned directory.

The elasticsearch-curator binary package cannot coexist with the python-elasticsearch-curator package. This collision is explicitly defined in packages since 4.1.2, but not in previous packages. If it is installed, you must uninstall the python-elasticsearch-curator package before installing the elasticsearch-curator binary package.

Python Package Installation

edit

This method will install all of the python modules (or libraries) that Curator requires, as well as an entry-point to launch Curator. The shared library approach introduces the possibility of library collision, which will prevent installation, with error messages explaining why. If this happens, it is recommended that you use the binary installation method, as this precludes the possibility of library collision.

To install Curator, run the following:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install python-elasticsearch-curator

The python-elasticsearch-curator binary package cannot coexist with the elasticsearch-curator package. This collision is explicitly defined in packages since 4.1.2, but not in previous packages. If it is installed, you must uninstall the elasticsearch-curator binary package before installing the python-elasticsearch-curator package and its dependencies.
