Hello Nivedita, follow these steps to install Elasticsearch Server:

1. Download Elasticsearch ans start the Elastic Search Windows installer. The Elastisearch wizard is displayed, at the Locations step.
2. Now use the default directories for installation, data, configuration, and logs, or select custom locations for each.
   
   
    
3. Click Next. The Service step is displayed. Ensure that the following options are selected:
   • Install as a service
   • Start the service after this installation is complete
   • Start the service when Windows starts (Automatic)
     
     
      
4. Click Next. Now the Configuration step is displayed. Configure the following options as desired:
   • Cluster name - change the value to something that reflects the purpose of this Elasticsearch installation. This is important if you have several servers with Elasticsearch in your intranet, to avoid autodiscovery.
   • Node name - a friendly name for your node.
   • Roles - the default options are recommended.
   • Memory - the default options are recommended.
   • Network host - the computer’s hostname/IP address (you can obtain the machine name in a command prompt by running the command hostname).
   • HTTP Port - the default port for Elasticsearch is 9200
     
     
      
5. Click Next. The Plugins step is displayed.
6. Select additional plugins for Elasticsearch, such as X-Pack for security.
7. Click Install. ElasticSearch is installed.
