brew install elastic/tap/elasticsearch-full
Error: elastic/tap/elasticsearch-full: Calling plist_options is disabled! Use service.require_root instead.
Please report this issue to the elastic/tap tap (not Homebrew/brew or Homebrew/homebrew-core), or even better, submit a PR to fix it:

I don't think this project is maintained anymore. To install elastic now you need to use the following

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.10/install-elasticsearch.html

I wish they'd put a warning on the README.

Yes, I agree. I have jumped to OpenSearch for development. Probably will migrate production there shortly.

It's still listed on the Elasticsearch site though: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.17/brew.html

Basically, you have to fix the tap so that the services work.
Then you get the MacOS Venture 'app is damaged' because of some Java stuff.
That can be fixed by installing openjdk through brew, and then changing the elasticsearch plist (the one in /opt/homebrew, not in your user folder) to set the ES_JAVA_HOME environment variable to the openjdk java_home path.

Then it starts. But then you can still get an error because of machine learning capabilities not working (I guess this depends on your system and config). You can disable those by adding a xpack.ml.enabled: false at the end of /opt/homebrew/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml.

You do now have a hardlinked path to the openjdk home path, so I guess if openjdk updates to a new version (minor or major) you have to change that path again...
