Issues with installing elasticsearch

[Robert]

Hello beautiful people.

I recently came upon elasticsearch and wanted to try it out and see what the possibilities are. However, sadly enough, I encountered some problems when attempting to install elasticsearch. When i tried to activate the batch file I recieve the following message:

Error occurred during initialization of VM

Could not reserve enough space for 2097152KB object heap

Now I did google a bit before posting here. I have added a _JAVA_OPTIONS file to my system variables.  When I added a value of 2g, I was asked for a 3g heap, instead of 3. When I changed the value to 3g, I received the message that 3g was beyond the possible assignment.

This also caused the problem of my IntelliJ not starting up.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Hi Robert

Try with setting the environment variable ES_HEAP_SIZE=256M.

Otherwise I suggest you ask in the Elastic forum at https://discuss.elastic.co/c/elasticsearch.

Hello Hendrik, thank you for your suggestion.

Your suggestion helped me solve the problem. I have added the following to lines to the Elasticsearch bat:

SET HEAP_SIZE=256M

SET _JAVA_OPTIONS=-Xms128m -Xmx256m
