PUT /megacorp/employee/1
{
    "first_name" : "John",
    "last_name" :  "Smith",
    "age" :        25,
    "about" :      "I love to go rock climbing",
    "interests": [ "sports", "music" ]

PUT is not a command, you need to use something like curl, try this:

curl -PUT http://localhost:9200/megacorp/employee/1 -d '
{
    "first_name" : "John",
    "last_name" :  "Smith",
    "age" :        25,
    "about" :      "I love to go rock climbing",
    "interests": [ "sports", "music" ]
}'

it works fine but as mentioned in the official guide that we can use shorthand format like PUT /megacorp/employee/1 instead of the whole statement with curl, that does not work for me
