On some Linux systems, you may also need to have the `JAVA_HOME` environment
exported before attempting the install, particularly if you installed Java from
a tarball. This is because Logstash uses Java during installation to
automatically detect your environment and install the correct startup method
(SysV init scripts, Upstart, or systemd). If Logstash is unable to find the
JAVA_HOME environment variable during package installation time, you may get an
error message, and Logstash will be unable to start properly.
