Installing Elasticsearch on Google Colab

%%bash
apt-get install openjdk-17-jdk-headless -qq > /dev/null
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-amd64"
update-alternatives --set java /usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java

rm -rf elasticsearch*
wget -q https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-8.11.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
tar -xzf elasticsearch-8.11.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
sudo chown -R daemon:daemon elasticsearch-8.11.1/
umount /sys/fs/cgroup
apt install cgroup-tools
%%bash -bg
# run it in background  - %%bash --bg
sudo -H -u daemon elasticsearch-8.11.1/bin/elasticsearch

Notes

Run both elasticsearch and neo4j without login user id and password. For this you need to uncomment or edit few directives in config/elasticsearch.yml and conf/neo4j.conf respectively.

Neo4j

# uncomment the following directives
#dbms.security.auth_enabled=false
#server.default_listen_address=0.0.0.0

Eleasticsearch

# Enable security features - set it to false
xpack.security.enabled: true
