. 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?

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.

Thanks for sharing instructions.
FYI: we provide distributions No JDK. Search "not bundled" in this page, then you can find the link No JDK download page. elastic.co/downloads/elas
