Installation from source

Installing or Curator from source is also possible. In order to do so requires that all dependent libraries are installed first.

If you have pip installed, then you can install from a gzipped file. If not, you have to uncompress the gzipped file and run python setup.py install.

That might look like this:

wget https://github.com/username/project/archive/#.#.#.tar.gz -O package.tar.gz
tar zxf package.tar.gz
cd package-#.#.#
python setup.py install

The dependencies are as follows

setuptools

edit

Download ez_setup.py and run it using the target Python version. The script will download the appropriate version and install it for you:

wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py -O - | python

Note that you will need to invoke the command with superuser privileges to install to the system Python:

wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py -O - | sudo python

Alternatively, setuptools may be installed to a user-local path:

wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py -O - | python - --user

elasticsearch-curator (python module)

edit

Download and install Curator:

wget https://github.com/elastic/curator/archive/v5.8.4.tar.gz -O elasticsearch-curator.tar.gz
pip install elasticsearch-curator.tar.gz

or uncompress and run python setup.py install. At this point you could also run run_curator.py from the source directory as well.
