CentOS7 ODFE 1.2.1 steps to prevent dependency issues

If someone has issues with dependencies and especially the elastic repo, my recommendation is to download the elasticsearch-oss package from the elastic homepage.
Reason for this is because every time I’m doing an installation/upgrade I have issues with getting older versions from the original elastic repo that are required for ODFE.

# yum list elasticsearch-oss-7.2.1-1
Loaded plugins: langpacks, rhnplugin, versionlock
This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or Red Hat Satellite.
Available Packages
elasticsearch-oss.x86_64                                           7.2.1-1                                           elasticsearch-7.x
# yum install elasticsearch-oss-7.2.1-1
Loaded plugins: langpacks, rhnplugin, versionlock
This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or Red Hat Satellite.
Nothing to do

(no version lock or exclude configured)

So, in case for opendistro 1.2.1 my steps are:

  1. go to Elasticsearch OSS 7.2.1 | Elastic and download rpm package
elasticsearch-oss-7.2.1-x86_64.rpm
  1. install local package via yum yum install elasticsearch-oss-7.2.1-x86_64.rpm
  2. from the opendistro repo the rest works as intended, but I tend to specify depended versions ***
yum install opendistroforelasticsearch-1.2.1 opendistro-sql-1.2.1.0 opendistro-security-1.2.1.0 opendistroforelasticsearch-kibana-1.2.1

*** might differ for other version/sub-version, pls. verify version manually, inn case this post is outdated

regards,
nean
