Hi,

following the steps for ofline install at [https://github.com/floragunncom/search-guard-docs/blob/master/installation.md](https://github.com/floragunncom/search-guard-docs/blob/master/installation.md)

**Search Guard 5**

- Download the [Search Guard 5 version matching your Elasticsearch version](https://github.com/floragunncom/search-guard/wiki) from Maven Central:
  - [All versions of Search Guard 5](http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cgav%7C1%7Cg%3A%22com.floragunn%22%20AND%20a%3A%22search-guard-5%22)
  - Download the **zip file** of the Search Guard plugin

- Change to the directory of your Elasticsearch installation and type:

```auto
i have downloaded the zip ftom http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=com/floragunn/search-guard-5/5.1.2-12/search-guard-5-5.1.2-12.zip

```

after stopping elasticsearch i run ar root → bin/elasticsearch-plugin install -b file://root/search-guard-5-5.1.2-12.zip  
and i get the following error.  
i have done some search , and seems to me , that there is some issue by using root user. i wanted to use elasticsearch user, but it do not exist . yet when i run the elasticsearch service , the elastise user is running.  
i will appreciate some indications on how to do this pluggin install.  
thanks

You’re missing a slash:

Instead of:

bin/elasticsearch-plugin install -b file://root/search-guard-5-5.1.2-12.zip

try:

bin/elasticsearch-plugin install -b file:///root/search-guard-5-5.1.2-12.zip
