Aspire 5 requires connectivity to Elasticsearch or OpenSearch. 

You only need one to work with Aspire 5.

Limitations:

• Please note that these instructions are for Windows only.
• Please note that this is for a basic HTTP set up, ideal for testing. This is not recommended for Production settings.

Steps to Install and Configure Elasticsearch

Step 1: Download Elasticsearch. For this example, we will be using 7.9.2.

Step 2: Extract it. For this example, I extracted it on C:\elasticsearch\elasticsearch-7.9.2

Step 3: Under C:\elasticsearch\elasticsearch-7.9.2\bin run elasticsearch.bat

Step 4: Once done you can navigate to http://localhost:9200/

You can then proceed with Step 2 on Start your Aspire Distribution under How to Set Up On-premises

Steps to Install and Configure OpenSearch

1. Download the Openseach. For this example we will be using OpenSearch 2.7.0
   
2. Extract it. For this example, I extracted it on C:\openSearch\op27http
   
   
   

3. Edit the opensearch.yml  "C:\openSearch\op27http\config\opensearch.yml", add the following lines:

   plugins.security.ssl.http.enabled: false  plugins.security.disabled: true

   
   
   

4. Under the bin folder, open command prompt and run opensearch.bat
   
   
5. Once done you can navigate to http://localhost:9200/
   You can then proceed with Step 2 on Start your Aspire Distribution under How to Set Up On-premises
