how to install plugin/head for elastic search?
If someone tries with version 5 or else:
for Elasticsearch 5.x: plugins are not supported. Run elasticsearch-head as a standalone
for Elasticsearch 2.x – 4.x:sudo elasticsearch/bin/plugin install mobz/elasticsearch-head
- for Elasticsearch 1.x:sudo elasticsearch/bin/plugin -install mobz/elasticsearch-head/1.x
- for Elasticsearch 0.9:sudo elasticsearch/bin/plugin -install mobz/elasticsearch-head/0.9

I've just installed ES using 1.4.4. on windows. Please check if you've got the confirmation that the plugging is installed. Also double check your commands. See below.
The following are what I used on my Ubuntu 14.04 elasticsearch 2.0.0. instead of -i, you need to use the word install ( without dash )
with proxy:
/opt/elasticsearch/bin/plugin install -DproxyPort=80 -DproxyHost=www.example.com mobz/elasticsearch-headwithout proxy:
/opt/elasticsearch/bin/plugin install mobz/elasticsearch-head
