| Installation has been mainly divided into following steps. | ||

| 1. Installing Java |

Isn't better to link to official resources for this step? So we don't need to maintain this at the future or write it for every OS.

Same here, linking to the official installation guide could be better

@rajujha373 Have you tried the elasticsearch ppa? Am not sure you need to add a ppa for openjdk 8 on a currently supported distribution. |
|
@xrmx I have not tried elasticsearch ppa, I just downloaded the package and ran the server manually. I guess I am going to give it a try. |

| RTD currently uses elasticsearch 1.x which can be easily downloaded and installed from the official website (http://elastic.co). | ||
|
|
||
| Download it in a directory parallel to where the readthedocs.org project has been stored.:: |

This is strictly necessary? What about the people that install it with a package manager? (also I think this step is visible on the elastic search official guide)

After some research, I found out that there are various ways to start the elastic server and the steps I have written works as well but requires a bit more work than the installation with package manager.
I guess i'm gonna re-write the guide for installing and setting up elastic server via package manager. :)

Same here, maybe just saying that executing the server with elasticsearch is better here.

Hey @stsewd I have re-written the guide for installation of elasticsearch in local system. The code has been a mess currently but once you finalise the changes, I can create a new PR if you wish. |
|
@rajujha373 not sure why the diff shows unrelated files, also always create a new branch when making changes (I see you did it on your master branch). |
|
Yeah I too noticed it after making the changes. I'll keep this in mind next time :) @stsewd |
