Elasticsearch installation error: No such file or directory

I'm using a linux machine. The Elasticsearch installation guide told me to simply download and unzip the file, and then run bin/elasticsearch. But when I ran it, I got this error:

$ bin/elasticsearch
-bash: bin/elasticsearch: No such file or directory

I can clearly see the elasticsearch file in my home directory, and all the files within it seem intact. What do I do?

In the command prompt go to the extracted_file_location/elastic_search_folder/elasticsearch-(some_version_number)_folder.

Now execute bin/elasticsearch

As an example. The extracted file is in downloads with version 8.7.0:

cd Downloads/elasticsearch-8.7.0-linux-x86_64/elasticsearch-8.7.0

Now execute bin/elasticsearch

If you are trying to access the file with: 

bin/elasticsearch

You get the error.

Try to tell the full route.

First move to the directory with cd

cd route/to/your/directory

Then use . for calling from your actual position:

./bin/elasticsearch

Note: If you get an error about the access or something similar, try giving execution permission to your file:

chmod u+x ./bin/elasticsearch
