[[setup]]
= Set up {es}
This section includes information on how to setup Elasticsearch and get it
running, including:
* Downloading
* Installing
* Starting
* Configuring
[[supported-platforms]]
[discrete]
== Supported platforms
The matrix of officially supported operating systems and JVMs is available here:
link:/support/matrix[Support Matrix]. Elasticsearch is tested on the listed
platforms, but it is possible that it will work on other platforms too.
[discrete]
[[jvm-version]]
== Java (JVM) Version
Elasticsearch is built using Java, and includes a bundled version of
https://openjdk.java.net[OpenJDK] from the JDK maintainers (GPLv2+CE)
within each distribution. The bundled JVM is the recommended JVM and
is located within the `jdk` directory of the Elasticsearch home directory.
To use your own version of Java, set the `ES_JAVA_HOME` environment variable.
If you must use a version of Java that is different from the bundled JVM,
we recommend using a link:/support/matrix[supported]
https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html[LTS version of Java].
Elasticsearch will refuse to start if a known-bad version of Java is used.
The bundled JVM directory may be removed when using your own JVM.
[discrete]
[[dedicated-host]]
== Use dedicated hosts
In production, we recommend you run {es} on a dedicated host or as a primary
service. Several {es} features, such as automatic JVM heap sizing, assume it's
the only resource-intensive application on the host or container. For example,
you might run {metricbeat} alongside {es} for cluster statistics, but a
resource-heavy {ls} deployment should be on its own host.
