== Supported platforms

|
|

|
|
|
The matrix of officially supported operating systems and JVMs is available here:
|
|
|
|
|
link:/support/matrix[Support Matrix]. Elasticsearch is tested on the listed
|
|
|
|
|
platforms, but it is possible that it will work on other platforms too.

Elasticsearch is built using Java, and requires at least
|
2015-09-22 08:23:30 -04:00
|
|
|
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html[Java 8] in
|
2014-09-11 05:15:42 -04:00
|
|
|
order to run. Only Oracle's Java and the OpenJDK are supported. The same JVM
|
2014-12-30 11:40:19 -05:00
|
|
|
version should be used on all Elasticsearch nodes and clients.

|
|
|
We recommend installing Java version *{jdk} or later*. Elasticsearch will
|
|
|
|
|
refuse to start if a known-bad version of Java is used.

|
|
|
|
2016-04-03 10:09:24 -04:00
|
|
|
The version of Java that Elasticsearch will use can be configured by setting
|
|
|
|
|
the `JAVA_HOME` environment variable.
