jaymode f5e9c826b4 docs: remove configuration path setting from plugin install commands
The additional setting to specify the configuration path is no longer needed with elasticsearch 2.0, so
we should remove it from the documentation. Also cleans up the installation commands to be in line
with what 2.0 requires.

== Getting Started with Shield
This getting started guide walks you through installing Shield, setting up basic authentication, and getting started with role-based
access control. You can install Shield on nodes running Elasticsearch {version}.
IMPORTANT: The Shield plugin must be installed on every node in the cluster. If you are installing
to a live cluster, you must stop all of the nodes, install Shield, and restart the nodes. You cannot
perform a rolling restart to install Shield.
To install and run Shield:
. Run `bin/plugin install` from `ES_HOME` to install the license plugin.
+
[source,shell]
----------------------------------------------------------
bin/plugin install license
----------------------------------------------------------
. Run `bin/plugin install` to install the Shield plugin.
+
[source,shell]
----------------------------------------------------------
bin/plugin install shield
----------------------------------------------------------
+
NOTE: If you are using a <<deb-rpm-install, DEB/RPM distribution>> of Elasticsearch, you need to run the installation with superuser permissions. To perform an offline installation, <<offline-install,download the Shield binaries>>.
. Start Elasticsearch.
+
[source,shell]
----------------------------------------------------------
bin/elasticsearch
----------------------------------------------------------
. To verify that Shield is up and running, check the startup log entries. When Shield is operating
normally, the log indicates that the network transports are using Shield:

Now you're ready to secure your cluster! Here are a few things
you might want to do to start with:
* <<enable-basic-auth, Control Access with Basic Authentication>>
* <<enable-message-authentication, Enable Message Authentication>>
* <<enable-auditing, Enable Auditing>>
