$ ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/elasticsearch/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents

Then to load elasticsearch now:

$ launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.elasticsearch.plist

 Or, if you don't want/need launchctl, you can just run:

$ elasticsearch --config=/usr/local/opt/elasticsearch/config/elasticsearch.yml

 To verify the installation

$ elasticsearch --version

Elasticsearch Debian/Ubuntu Installation

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
$ sudo aptitude update
$ sudo aptitude install oracle-java8-installer
$ wget -qO - https://packages.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | sudo apt-key add -
$ echo "deb http://packages.elastic.co/elasticsearch/1.7/debian stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elasticsearch-1.7.list
$ sudo aptitude update

$ sudo /bin/systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo /bin/systemctl enable elasticsearch.service
