Installing ElasticSearch

GeoCat Find requires ElasticSearch version 8.19.13 as a search engine for metadata content.

To create dashboards to visualize the search/content statistics you need to install also Kibana.

• Download ElasticSearch from https://www.elastic.co/downloads/past-releases/elasticsearch-8-19-13 for your operating system.
• Download Kibana from https://www.elastic.co/downloads/past-releases/kibana-8-19-13 for your operating system.

You can also install these applications with Docker.

Once installed check how to Configure Elasticsearch in GeoCat Find.
