Sorry for the noob question, but I have got the following error during the installation of search-guard. # File downloaded from github master branch bin/plugin install file:///home/honeybadger/search-guard.zip → Installing from file:/home/honeybadger/search-guard.zip… Trying file: /home/honeybadger/search-guard.zip … Downloading ..DONE Verifying file: /home/honeybadger/search-guard.zip checksums if available … NOTE: Unable to verify checksum for downloaded plugin (unable to find .sha1 or .md5 file to verify) ERROR: Could not find plugin descriptor ‘plugin-descriptor.properties’ in plugin zip Furthermore, I tried the command provided in the doc: bin/plugin install com.floragunn/search-guard-2/2.3.1.0-beta1 And all urls look dead Did I miss something? Thanks, ---
