title: Elastic Search Immediately Dies on Mac
body: <p>I downloaded elastic search today. When I try to run it, it is immediately killed with the following message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Johnathans-MacBook-Pro:Downloads jward$ ./elasticsearch-7.6.1/bin/elasticsearch
  ./elasticsearch-7.6.1/bin/elasticsearch-env: line 71: 12909 Killed: 9               
  "$JAVA" -cp "$ES_CLASSPATH" org.elasticsearch.tools.java_version_checker.JavaVersionChecker
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My java version is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>java version "11.0.6" 2020-01-14 LTS
  Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.6+8-LTS)
  Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.6+8-LTS, mixed mode)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why won't the elastic search service start?</p>
