[FIXED] How to install elasticsearch as a service using brew

Issue

I want to use brew to install elasticsearch but I don't succeed to install it as a service to be able to start it like:

sudo service elasticsearch start

and to be able to stop it like:

sudo service elasticsearch stop

Do you know how I can do it?

Solution

In homebrew you don't need to install sth as a service in a special way. Install it as usual and start it as a service (if the formula supports it, which elasticsearch does).

So to install:

brew install elasticsearch

and then to run as a service (with autostart on startup):

brew services start elasticsearch

Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:

elasticsearch

To stop/kill, just press Ctrl+C on the terminal where you executed above command
