+# Overview
+Elasticsearch interpreter for Apache Zeppelin
+
+## Run the interpreter with docker
+You can run the Elasticsearch interpreter as a standalone docker container.
+
+### Step 1. Specify the configuration for the elasticsearch interpreter
+```bash
+    # conf/interpreter.json
+
+    "elasticsearch": {
+      ...
+      "option":
+      } {
+        "remote": true,
+        "port": ${INTERPRETER_PROCESS_PORT_IN_HOST},
+        "isExistingProcess": true,
+        "host": "localhost",
+        ...
+      }
+````
+
+### Step 2. Build and run the elasticsearch interpreter
+```bash
+./mvnw clean install -DskipTests
+ 
+./bin/zeppelin-daemon.sh start
+# check the port of the interpreter event server. you can find it by looking for the log that starts with "InterpreterEventServer is starting at"
+   
+docker build -f ./elasticsearch/Dockerfile -t elasticsearch-interpreter .
+docker run \
+--name elasticsearch-interpreter \
+-p 8087:8087 \
+-e INTERPRETER_EVENT_SERVER_PORT=${INTERPRETER_EVENT_SERVER_PORT} \
+elasticsearch-interpreter
+```
