建议下载2.3.2版本，最新的5.0.0版本与可视化话工具elasticsearch-head可能不太兼容
cd到安装目录
sudo bin/elasticsearch
浏览器中访问http://localhost:9200/，看到一个json结果集，表明安装成功：
{
"name" : "The Destroyer",
"cluster_name" : "elasticsearch",
"version" : {
"number" : "2.3.2",
"build_hash" : "b9e4a6acad4008027e4038f6abed7f7dba346f94",
"build_timestamp" : "2016-04-21T16:03:47Z",
"build_snapshot" : false,
"lucene_version" : "5.5.0"
},
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}
这里推荐使用elasticsearch-head
sudo bin/plugin install mobz/elasticsearch-head
重启ES，浏览器中访问http://localhost:9200/_plugin/head/，验证是否成功：
