$ /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch

Error: Could not find or load main class org.elasticsearch.tools.JavaVersionChecker Elasticsearch requires at least Java 8 but your Java version from

/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_144/bin/java does not meet this requirement

$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_144"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_144-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.144-b01, mixed mode)
`
$ echo $JAVA_HOME
/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_144

Move to proper bin folder

../elasticsearch/bin/

if you are running elastic search on

gitbash: ./elasticsearch.bat

windows shell: elasticsearch.bat

if you are not running somewhere else , find a appropriate command to run a bat script
