Installing and configuring Elasticsearch on Magento 2 involves several steps. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you with the process:

Step 1: Install Elasticsearch

First, you need to install Elasticsearch on your server. Here’s how you can do it:

• Add the Elasticsearch repository to your system:

sudo rpm --import https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch
sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/elasticsearch.repo

• Add the following configuration to the file and save it:

[elasticsearch-7.x]
name=Elasticsearch repository for 7.x packages
baseurl=https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/yum
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch
enabled=1
autorefresh=1
type=rpm-md

• Install Elasticsearch using yum:

sudo yum install elasticsearch

Step 2: Configure Elasticsearch

Once Elasticsearch is installed, you need to configure it by editing the configuration file. Here’s how you can do it:

• Open the Elasticsearch configuration file:

sudo vi /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml

• Add the following configuration to the file:

cluster.name: magento
node.name: magento
network.host: localhost
http.port: 9200

• Save and exit the file.

• Restart Elasticsearch:

sudo systemctl restart elasticsearch

Step 3: Install the Elasticsearch module for Magento

Now that Elasticsearch is installed and configured, you need to install the Elasticsearch module for Magento. Here’s how you can do it:

• Log in to your Magento 2 server.
• Change to your Magento root directory:

cd /var/www/html/magento2

• Install the Elasticsearch module using composer:

composer require magento/module-elasticsearch

• Run the Magento setup upgrade command:

bin/magento setup:upgrade

Step 4: Configure Magento to use Elasticsearch

Finally, you need to configure Magento to use Elasticsearch as its search engine. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Log in to your Magento 2 Admin Panel.
2. Go to Stores > Configuration > Catalog > Catalog > Catalog Search.
3. Set the following options:
   • Search Engine: Elasticsearch 7.0+
   • Elasticsearch Server Hostname: localhost
   • Elasticsearch Server Port: 9200
4. Save the configuration and flush the Magento cache:

bin/magento cache:flush

That’s it! Elasticsearch is now installed and configured on your Magento 2 server, and Magento is set up to use it as its search engine.
