Installing and using Elasticsearch on Ubuntu 14.04.1

Follow the apt-install instructions located here: http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-repositories.html

Run

 sudo update-rc.d elasticsearch defaults 95 10

and

 sudo /etc/init.d/elasticsearch start

Next, get Oracle JDK with:

 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
 java -version

Start testing Elasticsearch by running "curl localhost:9200", you should see something like this:

 {
   "status" : 200,
   "name" : "Aleksander Lukin",
   "version" : {
     "number" : "1.3.2",

     "build_snapshot" : false,
     "lucene_version" : "4.9"
   },

 }
