When I run ./bin/elasticsearch command, I get the following error:

./bin/elasticsearch-cli: line 14: /home/samira/elasticsearch-8.4.2/jdk/bin/java: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
./bin/elasticsearch-cli: line 14: /home/samira/elasticsearch-8.4.2/jdk/bin/java: Success

This is my elasticsearch-cli:

#!/bin/bash

set -e -o pipefail

source "`dirname "$0"`"/elasticsearch-env

# use a small heap size for the CLI tools, and thus the serial collector to
# avoid stealing many CPU cycles; a user can override by setting CLI_JAVA_OPTS
CLI_JAVA_OPTS="-Xms4m -Xmx64m -XX:+UseSerialGC ${CLI_JAVA_OPTS}"

LAUNCHER_CLASSPATH=$ES_HOME/lib/*:$ES_HOME/lib/cli-launcher/*

exec \
  "$JAVA" \
  $CLI_JAVA_OPTS \
  -Dcli.name="$CLI_NAME" \
  -Dcli.script="$0" \
  -Dcli.libs="$CLI_LIBS" \
  -Des.path.home="$ES_HOME" \
  -Des.path.conf="$ES_PATH_CONF" \
  -Des.distribution.type="$ES_DISTRIBUTION_TYPE" \
  -cp "$LAUNCHER_CLASSPATH" \
  org.elasticsearch.launcher.CliToolLauncher \
  "$@"

I run java -version and it outputs:

Then I run lscpu and it outputs:

  • this seems to be a wrong JDK installed on your system, could you please run lscpu and java -version and add the output to your question?

    and that's exactly the issue :) your CPU architecture is x86_64 not aarch64, I'll fill and answer

Your CPU architecture is x86_64 while the downloaded elastic-search is aarch64

go to the elasticsearch directory, open a terminal there and run ./uninstall.sh to uninstall the current aarch64 version, then install the correct release;

there are two releases for that architecture you can download, one is a .tar.gz file and the other a .deb file, .deb installation files are easier to install and also easier to uninstall, so the correct version to install is either the elasticsearch-8.4.2-amd64.deb (recommended) or elasticsearch-8.4.2-linux-x86_64.tar.gz

I suggest the first one

  • my bad @samirapadidar, elastic search isn't actually installed in your system as you could not run the installer (because it's a different unsupported architecture), so ignore the "uninstalling" part and just install the .deb file
