Quickstart¶
Install¶
Install Python 3.4+ including pip3
, JDK 8 and git 1.9+. Then run the following command, optionally prefixed by sudo
if necessary:
pip3 install esrally
If you have any trouble or need more detailed instructions, please look in the detailed installation guide.
Configure¶
Just invoke esrally configure
.
For more detailed instructions and a detailed walkthrough see the configuration guide.
Run your first race¶
Now we’re ready to run our first race:
esrally --distribution-version=5.0.0
This will download Elasticsearch 5.0.0 and run Rally’s default track against it. After the race, a summary report is written to the command line::
