Installing readonlyrest plugin for elasticsearch getting error FileNotFoundException

I am trying to install elastisearch elasticsearch-readonlyrest-plugin. Now on its installation page Install,-Uninstall,-Build it was mentioned to use command sudo bin/plugin install https://github.com/sscarduzio/elasticsearch-readonlyrest-plugin/raw/master/download/elasticsearch-readonlyrest-v1.5_es-v2.1.1.zip.

I tried to use above command but got error

arch-readonlyrest-v1.5_es-v2.1.1.zip...

asticsearch-readonlyrest-plugin/raw/master/download/elasticsearch-readonlyrest-v1.5_es-v2.1.1.zip];

I also tried to download the plugin from this url download, and also got an email from them where it was mentioned to use below steps.

So i downloaded my readonlyrest plugin but when i tried to use command bin/elasticsearch-plugin install file:///download-folder/readonlyrest-1.13.1_es2.4.4.zip i got below error

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

Can anyone please tell me what is the proper way to install elasticsearch readonlyrest plugion in my elasticsearch-cluster properly i am trying from last three days and haven't found anything useful.

UPDATE

The downloads policy of ReadonlyREST has changed, you can't install by url anymore (unless you host the zip file somewhere yourself).

I will repeat here what I said in GitHub issue #153:

I opted to have an official website as a single point of download for various reasons:

  • keep track of the number of downloads in google analytics (GH has no analytics for downloads)
  • keep track of unique users downloads (same reasons as above)
  • keep track of what versions are downloaded most (useful to decide when old ES branches can become unsupported)
  • Guarantee that users can download ONLY the latest version (this is a security plugin, and this is important)
  • Be able to notify users when a vulnerability is fixed and you should upgrade
