elasticsearchWhat hardware do I need to run Elasticsearch?


In order to run Elasticsearch, you need to have the following hardware:

  1. A computer with at least 4GB of RAM and a modern processor, such as an Intel Xeon or AMD Opteron.

  2. A hard drive with at least 10GB of free space for the Elasticsearch installation files.

  3. A network connection to access the Elasticsearch cluster.

  4. A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 8 or higher.

  5. An internet connection to download the Elasticsearch installation files.

You can check to see if your system meets the minimum requirements for running Elasticsearch by running the following command:

java -version

This will output something like:

java version "1.8.0_231"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_231-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.231-b11, mixed mode)

If the output of this command shows that you are running Java version 8 or higher, then your system meets the minimum requirements for running Elasticsearch.

For more information on the hardware requirements for running Elasticsearch, please see the Elasticsearch Reference.
