Here is the Installation & Configuration Guide

Step 1: Changing the vm.max_map_count value

The default value of vm.max_map_count on many systems is 65536. However, Elasticsearch recommends setting it to at least 262144 to prevent out-of-memory exceptions.

codeCopy
//To check the current value of vm.max_map_count
sysctl vm.max_map_count

If the value is less than 262144, you should increase it by updating the /etc/sysctl.conf file using any text editor (we will use nano).

pythonCopy
//To open the file in text editor use this command
sudo vim /etc/sysctl.conf

//now put this command in that file and save the file
vm.max_map_count=262144

codeCopy
print('Hello World')
