Install the binaries using homebrew:
$ brew install ElasticSearch
If this is your first install, automatically load ElasticSearch on login with:
$ mkdir -p ~/Library/LaunchAgents
$ ln -nfs /usr/local/Cellar/elasticsearch/0.19.10/homebrew.mxcl.elasticsearch.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
$ launchctl load -wF ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.elasticsearch.plist
To stop the ElasticSearch daemon:
$ launchctl unload -wF ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.elasticsearch.plist
To start ElasticSearch manually:
$ elasticsearch -f -D es.config=/usr/local/Cellar/elasticsearch/0.19.10/config/elasticsearch.yml
You should see ElasticSearch running:
$ open http://localhost:9200/
