# OpenSearch
<img src="https://opensearch.org/assets/brand/SVG/Logo/opensearch_logo_default.svg" height="64px"/>
Hello!
**OpenSearch** is
[a community-driven, open source fork](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/introducing-opensearch/)
of [Elasticsearch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasticsearch) and
[Kibana](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kibana) ensuing the
[licence change](https://opensource.org/node/1099) in early 2021. We're looking
to sustain (and evolve!) a search and analytics suite for the multitude of
businesses who are dependent on the rights granted by the original, Apache 2.0,
licence.
OpenSearch is an open source search and analytics engine derived from Elasticsearch 7.10.2. We are excited to build the best distributed search engine on the planet with you!
To install and run this project, please see the [Downloads Page](https://opensearch.org/downloads.html).
We officially began work on the new fork on January 21st, 2021. Since then, we've removed non-Apache 2.0 compliant code and did a full rename of the project. Feel free to take a look around at what we've been up to, and then head over to look at the [open issues](https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch/issues). Or you could jump right in and [start opening issues](https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch/issues/new/choose) or [contributing](CONTRIBUTING.md).
