How to index using elasticsearch on ubuntu

Question

I am trying to install elasticsearch on Ubuntu 12.04 to work with tire and mongodb, I used the following code to do the installation and everything seems to be working fine:

wget https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-0.90.2.deb
sudo dpkg -i elasticsearch-0.90.2.deb
sudo service elasticsearch start

Elasticsearch appears to have installed to usr/share/elasticsearch but no config/elasticsearch.yml file was created during installation, where can i create/get this file and index the data?

Answer 1

Try these commands for starting and stopping elastic search:

sudo service elasticsearch start
sudo service elasticsearch stop

Answer 2

I think you are looking for this query just run it in terminal(project directory)

rake environment tire:import CLASS=Model_Name FORCE=true

Give your Model Name where you have implemented tire

let me know your feedback

Answers are found in elasticsearch guide

After downloading the latest release and extracting it, elasticsearch can be started using:

$ bin/elasticsearch

Under *nix system, the command will start the process in the background. To run it in the foreground, add the -f switch to it:

$ bin/elasticsearch -f

ElasticSearch is built using Java, and requires at least Java 6 in order to run. The version of Java that will be used can be set by setting the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
