editpip
editThis installation procedure requires a functional Python pip
executable and requires that the
target machine has internet connectivity for downloading Curator and the dependencies from
The Python Package Index.
Installing a specific version with pip
editBecause version 6.0.0 is not the most recent release, you will need to specify the
version number to install via pip
.
The -U
flag uninstalls the current version (if any), then installs the latest version, or a
specified one. Specify a specific version by adding ==
followed by the version you’d like to
install, like this:
pip install -U elasticsearch-curator==X.Y.Z
For this release, you would type:
pip install -U elasticsearch-curator==
6.0.0
System-wide vs. User-only installation
editThe above commands each imply a system-wide installation. This usually
requires super-user access, or the sudo
command. There is a way to install
Curator into a path for just the current user, using the --user
flag.
pip install --user elasticsearch-curator==X.Y.Z
This will result in the curator
end-point being installed in the current
user’s home directory, in the .local
directory, in the bin
subdirectory. The
full path might look something like this:
/home/user/.local/bin/curator
You can make an alias or a symlink to this so you can call it more easily.
The --user
flag can also be used in conjunction with the -U
flag:
pip install -U --user elasticsearch-curator==X.Y.Z
