I've been stuck on this for about a day. I downloaded and installed ElasticSearch 2.3.3 on my redhat vm. I am trying to follow the get started video on the site but not one of the installation commands from the video has worked for me, so I've tried following installation methods from the guide.
I downloaded the rpm and entered the following commands to install:
cd /usr/share/elasticsearch
bin/plugin -DproxyHost=... -DproxyPort=... install license
bin/plugin -DproxyHost=... -DproxyPort=... install marvel-agent
I then started my ElasticSearch node and went to localhost:9200/_plugin/marvel but nothing popped up.
I then thought it might be because I only downloaded the agent and not marvel, so I tried installing marvel from the cmd line, but I constantly getting a FileNotFound exception
bin/plugin -DproxyHost=... -DproxyPort=... install marvel
I then manually downloaded marvel-2.3.3.tar.gz and tried installing it manually
bin/plugin -DproxyHost=... -DproxyPort=... install --verbose file://.../marvel-2.3.3.tar.gz
but I'm told the zip is missing a plugin-descriptor.properties file
Verifying file:/home1/isuser/Downloads/marvel-2.3.3.tar.gz checksums if available ...
NOTE: Unable to verify checksum for downloaded plugin (unable to find .sha1 or .md5 file to verify)
ERROR: Could not find plugin descriptor 'plugin-descriptor.properties' in plugin zip
I then unzipped marvel-2.3.3.tar, added a .properties file, rezipped, and reinstalled. still got the same error.
I really need some help. This is very frustrating. I still need to install Kibana but if that installation is anything near as infuriating as this one I'm not looking forward to it...
EDIT:
I got past this error by moving the .properties file from within the marvel directory to the same level, but now I'm getting a new error. it keeps giving me a FileNotFoundException.

marvel-2.3.3.zip? I ask because you noted that but then the error notes a.tar.gz. - pickypg.tar.gzfile, i made a typo in the question - Jeremy Fisher
