unix/linux can't unzip a file for elastic search

Question

I am trying to install elastic search on my mac os 10.10.5

I am following this official page https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/_installing_elasticsearch.html

the page said

curl -L -O http://download.elasticsearch.org/PATH/TO/VERSION.zip

I did this: curl -L -O http://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch-1-7-2.zip

then the page said:

unzip elasticsearch-$VERSION.zip

I did this (on the same directory)

unzip elasticsearch-1-7-2.zip

the result is:

End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not
  a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the
  latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
  the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip:  cannot find zipfile directory in one of elasticsearch-1-7-2.zip or
        elasticsearch-1-7-2.zip.zip, and cannot find elasticsearch-1-7-2.zip.ZIP, period.

what am i doing wrong please? how to solve it

Update 1

I used this

jar xvf elasticsearch-1-7-2.zip

I didn't get any error message, but i don't see the extracted file. does that command extract the file to another location?

Answer 1

Your URL is wrong - what you are downloading and trying to extract is text of 404 page. Try this:

curl -O -L https://download.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-1.7.2.zip
