Opensearch is running w/o <many> problems, but opensearch-cli is having problems

Versions (relevant - OpenSearch/Dashboard/Server OS/Browser):
Installed on: Windows 11
Installed: opensearch-2.11.1; opensearch-dashboards-2.11.1

Describe the issue:

When I attempt to start opensearch-cli it does not start. This makes following the directions a little bit more difficult because I do not know alternative options.

Configuration:

In Windows 11, I have the following environment variable set on startup.
OPENSEARCH_JAVA_HOME D:\opensearch-2.11.1\jdk

When I type opensearch-cli.bat into a Command Prompt, I get the following:
D:\opensearch-2.11.1\bin>opensearch-cli.bat
D:\opensearch-2.11.1\bin>call “D:\opensearch-2.11.1\bin\opensearch-env.bat” || exit /b 1

Relevant Logs or Screenshots:
This is a basic basic install - so I can get it up and running and figure out if I can use this for my program or not. I have been following this application for years - this has been the closest I have come to get it working in its entirety. But I am still having problems figuring some of this out - I lack the years of experience… That being said - you have to start somewhere?

Hi @Kdpx2,

It does not look like Windows 11 is supported please see here: Installing OpenSearch - OpenSearch documentation .

Best,
mj

mj, Thanks for letting me know.

  1. While not an expectation, is there a flow chart, possibly for coding or troubleshooting, of how opensearch works?

  2. Is there a way to obtain the OpenSearch documentation in PDF?

I have been trying to learn this package / application for several years. I am trying to learn this in an environment which has limited Internet …

Once again, thank you for responding.

You are welcome @Kdpx2,

I am not aware of PDFs, however, all the up-to-date docs are available here: Home - OpenSearch Documentation including (this will stay continuously updated with ever evolving nature of applications):

For more in-depth topics you can check Blog · OpenSearch

Enjoy your research,
