It seems you have installed the only elasticsearch client library without installing the actual Elasticsearch in the computer. Thus first install Elasticsearch as follows. Download and Install

After you have downloaded a zip file(if you are using windows), into something like c:\elasticsearch-7.5.2

Go to a path like C:\elasticsearch-7.5.2\bin and run elasticsearch.bat

Then go to your browser and run http://localhost:9200/, You should get a response like enter image description here That means your elastic instance is running, so you can proceed with 

es.indices.create(index='my-index', ignore=400)

In case you want a customization of the instance you can read out the tutorial Here

If you get an error of connection error while using the python elasticsearch it has already been answered Here
