I'm trying to install ElasticSearch on my mac.

I downloaded the tar from the official website and extract it.

Then I run the bin/elastic. After that I open https://localhost:9200/ and it displays the input field for username and password when I canceled it, this appears:

{
  "error": {
    "root_cause": [
      {
        "type": "security_exception",
        "reason": "missing authentication credentials for REST request [/]",
        "header": {
          "WWW-Authenticate": [
            "Basic realm=\"security\" charset=\"UTF-8\"",
            "Bearer realm=\"security\"",
            "ApiKey"
          ]
        }
      }
    ],
    "type": "security_exception",
    "reason": "missing authentication credentials for REST request [/]",
    "header": {
      "WWW-Authenticate": [
        "Basic realm=\"security\" charset=\"UTF-8\"",
        "Bearer realm=\"security\"",
        "ApiKey"
      ]
    }
  },
  "status": 401
}

I did not put a password or username and I look at the previous questions about that and no one is working for me. What should I do?

Note: When I open http://localhost:9200/ it displays:

This page isn’t working localhost didn’t send any data.
ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

Tldr;

Seems like Elasticsearch create a password automatically.

You may want to set you own with

bin/elasticsearch-setup-passwords interactive

But in version 8.x and above it is deprecated.

You should be using

elasticsearch-setup-passwords interactive
