. The new version of ES (7.x) has Java pre-bundled. The problem is that Java is platform specific and previous versions of ES could easily be installed on ARM64 platforms but not 7.x because Java is bundled. Is there a non-bundled version of 7.x somewhere?

I'm getting close. I just installed the deb package with --force-all, then added JAVA_HOME to point to my java version and then had to add "xpack.ml.enabled: false" to elasticsearch.yml. I think I'm almost there.

Got it! You will also need to uncomment JAVA_HOME in /etc/default/elasticsearch and add your JAVA location there. Once that is done, it loads fine and works well with systemctl.
